孝子伝 : 絵本
This Meiji-era Japanese illustrated book, the Kōshiden ehon of 1885, was compiled by Fujita Zenpei and published by Okamoto Sensuke, presenting short tales of filial devotion for a general readership. Its pictures are crisp black-and-white woodblock-style scenes of kneeling figures in interiors and gardens, with dense hatching on kimono folds and calligraphic panels, offering a designer strong examples of hatched linework and framed text cartouches.
