絵本佐野報義録 6編

知足館松旭 編 · 1886 · 鹿田源蔵 · 5 pictures

This is an 1886 Japanese illustrated book (ehon), the sixth volume of a Sano Hōgiroku series compiled by Chisokukan Shōkyoku and published by Kada Genzō in Tokyo. The pictures are woodblock-style line prints of kimono-clad figures in interiors with screens, shoji, and hanging scrolls, drawn in a restrained, cross-hatched manner. A designer could take from them the patterned textiles, sparse domestic settings, and the dense black-and-white contrast of kimono motifs.
