絵本通俗水滸伝 巻7
An 1898 Japanese illustrated edition (ehon) of the Water Margin folk tale, volume 7, published by Sanshindō with text credited to storyteller Momokawa Enrin and stenographer Imamura Jirō, aimed at general readers. Its woodblock-style black-and-white pictures show bold, energetic figures in armour and robes, with dense hatching, flat compositions and framed vertical Japanese captions that suit designers looking for strong line work and dramatic action scenes.
