[絵本] 〔6〕 佐倉宗五郎一代記 下

山村清助 編 · 1885 · 堤吉兵衛 · 23 pictures

An 1885 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) edited by Yamamura Seisuke and published by Tsutsumi Kichibei, presumably for general readers, containing woodblock-style scenes from the life of Sakura Sogoro. The pages pair black-and-white prints with dense columns of vertical Japanese text, and a designer could take their bold linework, crowded page layouts and tightly framed figures from the period.
