絵本曽我物語 第3編上

一咲居士 編 · 1884 · 斯文堂 · 5 pictures

An 1884 Japanese ehon picture book, the third volume of an illustrated Soga tale, compiled by Ikkō Koji and published by Bunshidō for a general readership of popular fiction. The black-and-white woodblock-style prints show courtly figures in layered robes, interiors with sliding screens, and a mounted warrior on a galloping horse. A designer might take the dense line hatching, patterned kimono textures, and the framed captions set beside each scene as a model for compact narrative panels.
