[絵本] 〔３〕伊賀越仇討上

永島辰五郎編 · 1882 · 小森宗次郎 · 24 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Nagashima Tatsugorō and published by Komori Sōjirō in 1882, retelling the Igagoe vendetta story in woodblock-printed pages with Japanese text. The pages show samurai and townspeople in dense black-and-white line work, with patterned kimono and armour, and the layouts set figures against blocks of calligraphic captions, a useful model for pairing strong figure drawing with small text panels.
