絵本曽我物語 第2編下

一咲居士 編 · 1884 · 斯文堂 · 6 pictures

An 1884 Japanese ehon picture book, Ehon Soga Monogatari volume 2 part 2, compiled by Isshō Koji and published by Shibundō in Tokyo for a general readership of woodblock-era narrative fans. Its pictures are bold black-and-white ink line drawings of samurai in armour, with dense pine foliage, rocky slopes, and tatami interiors, giving designers strong graphic silhouettes and clean hatching to borrow for line-based work.
