岩見英雄録 : 絵本復讐 ７編８
This is a Meiji-era (1886) Japanese illustrated fiction volume, an ehon picture book of the revenge-tale series Iwami eiyūroku, written by Kenkōtei Tōgai and published by Maekawa Zenbei and others. Its woodblock-style black-and-white pages show samurai in armour and kimono, a figure standing beneath a pine, and interior scenes with women and a kneeling man, with captions in vertical columns; a designer could take its dynamic diagonal compositions, dense hatched patterning on robes and armour, and framed text panels.
