絵本赤穂義士銘々伝
This is a Meiji-era Japanese picture book published in 1893 by Kinkōdō, illustrating the individual loyal retainers of Akō, the samurai whose vendetta is known as the Akō incident. The four pictures show armoured and robed warriors in tense confrontations, kneeling poses, and a figure leaping through a window, drawn in clean black outline with dense patterned textiles and captions in vertical columns, offering a designer strong examples of kimono crest patterns, stippled fabric texture, and compact Japanese lettering layouts.
