[絵本] 〔1〕 箱根霊験躄仇討 下

山村清助 編 · 1885 · 堤吉兵衛 · 24 pictures

An 1885 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Yamamura Seisuke and published by Tsutsumi Kichibei, likely in Japan for a general popular readership. Its woodblock-style pages show samurai and townspeople in dynamic poses, with dense vertical kana and kanji text running beside the figures. A designer might take its bold black-and-white linework, patterned kimono textiles, and the way text columns frame each figure.
