絵本忠臣蔵稚話 2編
A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) of the Chushingura vendetta tale, compiled by Ban Genpei and published in 1885 by Ishida Wasaburō, presumably for a popular readership. Its woodblock-style pictures show samurai in armour and interiors, snowy gardens, and pines, with calligraphic captions set in the margins that a designer could use for compositional framing and dramatic staging.
