絵本西遊記全伝 2編 巻1-2
A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Shimizu Ichijirō and published in 1883, adapting the Chinese Journey to the West for a general Japanese readership. The woodblock-style line illustrations show monsters, gods and travellers in dramatic action, with swirling clouds and mountains, and a designer could draw on their bold black-and-white linework, dense hatching and expressive demon faces.
