絵本佐野報義録
A late nineteenth-century Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1887 by Shinshindō, illustrating a popular revenge tale for a general readership. The pages are woodblock-style black line prints of samurai in patterned kimono, with dense hatching on robes and floor, and a few textual cartouches; a designer could borrow their bold outline, pattern-filled costume, and staged, theatrical poses.
