[絵本] 〔15〕 国定忠次侠勇伝 下

柳水亭種清 編 · 1882 · 小林鉄次郎 · 30 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon), compiled by Ryūsuitei Tanesei and published by Kobayashi Tetsujirō in 1882 for popular readers. Its woodblock-style pages pair a single fighting scene with dense columns of Japanese text, and the samurai figures with striped and patterned robes show a designer how compact narrative framing can work.
