絵本敵討白石話 : 宮城野しのぶ ５
This is a Japanese ehon picture book published in 1877 by Okada Mohei, one of a multi-volume set of vengeance tales, printed in black-and-white woodblock style for a general readership. Its double-page spreads show samurai and townspeople in gardens, verandahs and interiors, drawn with crisp uniform outlines, sparse hatching and patterned screens a designer could borrow for ink-line illustration, narrative framing or traditional Japanese motifs.
