岩見英雄録 : 絵本復讐 6編1

乾坤亭東涯 著 · 1886 · 前川善兵衛等 · 11 pictures

An 1886 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) by Kenkatei Tōgai, published by Maekawa Zenbei and associates, presumably for a popular readership, with a dramatic revenge tale told through woodblock-style pictures. Its pictures are bold black-and-white prints with dense patterned kimono and strong figure silhouettes, framed by calligraphic cartouches, which a designer could use for graphic patterning, high-contrast figure compositions, and stylized textile motifs.
