絵本敵討白石話 : 宮城野しのぶ 1

1877 · 岡田茂兵衛 · 7 pictures

A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) published in 1877 by Okada Mohei, illustrated with black-and-white line drawings for a general readership of the time. The pictures show travellers on a path, an interior scene with figures around a tub, and men fighting or fleeing across hillsides of grass and pine. A designer might take the dynamic line work, dense hatching for foliage, and the layered panel compositions split across double-page spreads.
