絵本通俗水滸伝 巻2
An 1898 Japanese illustrated book, the second volume of an ehon picture-book version of the Water Margin, published in Tokyo by Sanshindō from the storytelling of Momokawa Enrin, transcribed by Imamura Jirō. Its woodblock-style pictures show warriors in combat with swords, staves and spears, and their dynamic poses, dense hatching and billowing smoke suit designers looking for energetic action compositions and bold black-and-white linework.
