絵本赤穂義士銘々伝
An 1887 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) by Shimizu Beishū, published by Oboribari Eizaburō, telling the stories of the forty-seven loyal retainers of Ako in individual portraits. The pictures are black-and-white woodcut-style line prints of samurai in interiors and gardens, with bold outlines, patterned kimono, and sparse settings a designer might borrow for period graphics.
