絵本敵討白石話 : 宮城野しのぶ ２
This is a Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) published in 1877 by the Osaka-era publisher Okada Mohei, printed in facing double-page spreads with Japanese captions. The pictures show narrative scenes of domestic interiors, gardens, and outdoor landscapes with figures in period dress, drawn in clean black linework with little shading. A designer could take from them the economical contour line, flat staging of interior scenes seen through open screens, and the tidy compositional rhythm of paired panels.
