絵本更科草紙 : 勇婦全伝 巻之5
A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) from the Edo period, volume 5 of a heroic-women tale, written by Kuri Jotei Kiran and illustrated by Ippōsai Baen for a general readership, published by Okada Mohei. The pictures show interior scenes of samurai and women in rooms with sliding screens, seated figures in patterned kimono, and armed confrontations, drawn in bold black outlines with sparse shading that a designer could use for compositional framing, flat pattern, and clothing motifs.
