南総里見八犬伝 四
This is a 1930 Japanese edition of Takizawa Bakin's Nansō Satomi Hakkenden, volume four, published by Hakubunkan, with the text revised by Sasagawa Taneo, a reprint of a nineteenth-century illustrated novel for general readers. Its woodblock-style line drawings show crowded scenes of warriors, monks and mountain journeys, with dense hatching in trees and rocks, clustered figures in robes, and ink-line compositions a designer could borrow for layered, narrative panel layouts.
