[絵本] 〔６〕本朝廿四孝上

永島辰五郎編 · 1882 · 小森宗次郎 · 19 pictures

An 1882 Japanese ehon picture book, volume 6 of the Honchō Nijūshikō, compiled by Nagashima Tatsugorō and published by Komori Sōjirō, illustrating scenes from the classic drama of twenty-four paragons of filial piety. The woodblock pages show dynamic figures in patterned kimono, with bold black outlines, dense vertical Japanese text columns, and strong flat areas of black and white that suggest graphic contrast and layout ideas.
