絵本忠義水滸伝 巻14-16
This is a Japanese illustrated edition (ehon) of the Water Margin novel, volumes 14 to 16, compiled and adapted by Shimizu Ichijirō and published by him in 1884 in Japan for a general reading public. The woodblock-style pictures show dramatic fights and crowded group scenes in traditional Chinese-style interiors, with dense black-and-white linework, patterned robes, and tightly staged figures that suggest strong compositional models for bold graphic layouts.
