絵本神稲水滸伝
A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Wada Tokutaro and published by Shunyodo in 1886, illustrating a Japanese adventure tale for a general reading public. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style line illustrations of samurai and warriors in kimono, with bold inked outlines, patterned textiles, and dramatic staged poses. A designer might take the strong figure silhouettes, dense patterned kimono textures, and high-contrast ink linework for bold graphic compositions.
