絵本忠義水滸伝 巻17-18
An 1884 Japanese ehon picture book, volumes 17 and 18 of the Water Margin (Suikoden) story, compiled and adapted by Shimizu Ichijirō and published by him, aimed at general readers. The woodblock-style pages show dense, action-packed scenes of armoured warriors fighting, struck down, or gathered around fallen bodies, with bold black ink masses, patterned robes and hatched backgrounds that suggest strong graphic contrast and compositional energy for designers.
