絵本曽我物語 後編

一咲居士 編 · 1884 · 木村文三郎 · 10 pictures

This is an 1884 Japanese ehon picture book, the second part of an illustrated version of the Soga tale, compiled by Issaku Koji and published by Kimura Bunzaburo for a general reading audience. The woodblock-printed pages show samurai in armour and robes in dense, staged fight and courtyard scenes, with bold black outlines and patterned textiles a designer could borrow for graphic linework and pattern.
