[絵本] 〔３〕伊賀越真書下

泉竜亭是正著, 守川周重画 · 1880 · 荒川藤兵衛 · 18 pictures

An 1880 Japanese ehon picture book, Igagoe Shinsho volume 3 (gesaku), written by Izumi Ryūtei Zeshō and illustrated by Morikawa Chikashige, published in Japan by Arakawa Tōbei. The woodblock-printed pages mix kanji text columns with scenes of samurai in interiors and courtyards, drawn in clean black linework. A designer might take the compact text-and-image layouts, the strong figure silhouettes in armour and kimono, and the patterned crests and textiles as reference for bold, narrative graphic compositions.
