[絵本] 〔１７〕 曽我物語

永島福太郎 編, 孟斎芳虎 画 · 1880 · 堤吉兵衛 · 14 pictures

An 1880 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) titled Soga Monogatari, published by Tsutsumi Kichibei and illustrated by Hōsai Yoshitora, a Meiji-era woodblock print book for general readers. The pages pair small armoured warriors and a courtly figure in black-and-white line work with dense columns of vertical Japanese text, a layout a designer could borrow for dense text-image compositions.
