絵本忠義水滸伝 巻29-31

清水市次郎 編・和解 · 1884 · 清水市次郎 · 9 pictures

An 1884 Japanese ehon picture book published by Shimizu Ichijiro, adapting the Chinese novel Water Margin (Suikoden) for a general readership in Tokyo. The four pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style prints of warriors in armour, bearded outlaws and a tense indoor confrontation, with dense cross-hatched blacks and bold outlines a designer could borrow for high-contrast graphics, figure silhouettes, or pine-branch framing.
