絵本仇討白石噺
A Japanese woodblock-style picture book (ehon) compiled by Tsutsumi Kichibei and published by him in 1887, illustrating a tale of revenge. Its double-page spreads pair black-and-white line illustrations of samurai and women with columns of Japanese text running down the margins. A designer might draw on the dense, patterned kimono and hakama textures, the diagonal geometric floor and screen patterns, and the compact interplay of carved-style figures with vertical text blocks.
