[絵本] 〔５〕仮名手本忠臣蔵上

永島辰五郎編 · 1882 · 小森宗次郎 · 18 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese ehon picture book of 1882, compiled by Nagashima Tatsugorō and published by Komori Sōjirō, illustrating the Kanadehon Chūshingura drama for a popular readership. The pages are woodblock-printed portraits of kabuki actors in costume with Japanese captions and kana text, and the stylised black-and-white linework, patterned kimono, and crests offer a designer useful models for bold graphic figure silhouettes and textile pattern.
