絵本通俗水滸伝 巻6
A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated edition of a popular Chinese outlaw tale, published in 1898 by Sanshindō and based on oral storytelling by Momokawa Enrin, with text transcribed by Imamura Jirō, for general readers. Its pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style battle scenes with dramatic diagonal compositions, flowing hair and banners, and dense cloud and rock patterns that a designer could draw on for bold action linework and high-contrast graphic energy.
