[絵本] 〔５〕敵討裏見葛葉

守川音次郎編 · 1880 · 小森宗次郎 · 18 pictures

This is an illustrated Japanese picture book (ehon) from 1880, compiled by Morikawa Otojiro and published by Komori Sōjirō, containing woodblock-printed scenes of vendetta tales with dense columns of text. The pages show samurai in tense confrontations beneath pine trees and on bridges, with kimono patterns and swords rendered in bold black line work that a designer could adapt for dramatic graphic compositions.
