[絵本] 〔１〕 伊達評定実記 ２号

永島辰五郎 編 · 1882 · 小森宗次郎 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Nagashima Tatsugorō and published by Komori Sōjirō in 1882, illustrated with woodblock prints of samurai figures and accompanied by columns of Japanese text. The pages show armoured or robed warriors in patterned kimono and hakama, some with swords, set against dense text blocks, which a designer might use for bold patterned textile motifs and the tension between figure and text.
