[絵本] 〔１１〕 宮本武蔵一代記 下

永島福太郎 編, 孟斎芳虎 画 · 1880 · 堤吉兵衛 · 18 pictures

An 1880 Japanese ehon picture book, Miyamoto Musashi Ichidai-ki volume two, illustrated by Hōsai Yoshitora and compiled by Nagashima Fukutarō, published in Tokyo by Tsutsumi Kichibee for a popular readership. The four pictures show a samurai in a fur-trimmed robe, a figure leaping beside a tree and fallen box, a seated man beside a lattice window, and a woman in a patterned kimono beside a bamboo blind, each framed by dense columns of kana text that a designer could borrow for bold, graphic layouts.
