絵本敵討白石話 : 宮城野しのぶ 4

1877 · 岡田茂兵衛 · 13 pictures

This is a Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) published in 1877 by the Osaka-area publisher Okada Mohei, illustrating a revenge tale in fine-line black-and-white pages. The pictures show Edo-period townspeople in kimono, women with parasols and folding fans, and a seated scene indoors, drawn with crisp, economical outlines that a designer could use for pattern, costume, or narrative staging.
