絵本曽我物語
This is a Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) of the Soga tale, published in Tokyo by Bunjidō in 1896 for a general reading public. Its pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style prints of single standing figures in costume against sprinkled square dots of snow-like pattern, with fine linework in kimono and armour that a designer could borrow for stencil-like patterns, dotted backgrounds, or period costume references.
