絵本西遊記全伝 初編 巻1-4
An 1883 Japanese picture book (ehon) edited by Shimizu Ichijirō and published by Shimizu Ichijirō, illustrating the Journey to the West for a general readership. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style scenes of monkey king battles, hellfire, and sea fights with dragons, drawn with dense hatching and bold flame and water patterns that a designer could draw on for dramatic line work and fire or wave motifs.
