Santo yakusha suikoden : Volume 2 / Goryūtei, Tokusho cho; Gototei Kunisada ga
A Japanese illustrated book printed in Edo in 1829 by the publisher Tsuruya Kiemon, written by Goryutei Tokusho with illustrations by Utagawa Kunisada, and aimed at a general reading public. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock prints with ink line drawings of warriors, actors and figures in rich robes set against pine branches and rocky ground, with calligraphic columns of text beside them. A designer could take the bold, economical linework, the dramatic diagonal compositions, and the patterned textiles and garment motifs.
