岩見英雄録 : 絵本復讐 7編5

乾坤亭東涯 著 · 1886 · 前川善兵衛等 · 6 pictures

An 1886 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) by Kenkyūtei Tōgai, published by Maekawa Zenbei and others, presenting a serialised revenge tale of samurai in woodblock-style black-and-white line illustrations. The pictures show interiors with patterned screens, tatami and samurai in ornate kimono and hakama, drawn with dense hatching and bold outlines that a designer could adapt for strong graphic contrast and pattern.
