岩見英雄録 : 絵本復讐 6編7

乾坤亭東涯 著 · 1886 · 前川善兵衛等 · 6 pictures

An 1886 Japanese ehon picture book, Iwami Eiyūroku: Ehon Fukushū, volume 6 part 7, written by Kenkontei Tōgai and published by Maekawa Zenbei and others, probably for popular readers in Japan. Its pictures are bold black-and-white woodblock-style line drawings of seated men in formal kimono with patterned hakama, set against interiors with latticed screens, cloud-patterned walls and gravel-covered gardens, with dense hatching in the dark garments that a designer could borrow for high-contrast patterning and textile motifs.
