絵本忠義水滸伝 巻35-37
An 1884 Japanese ehon picture book, Ehon Chūgi Suikoden volumes 35 to 37, compiled and translated by Shimizu Ichijirō and published by him, aimed at general readers of illustrated popular fiction. The black-and-white woodblock-style pages show armoured warriors in combat, a bound prisoner, and a tattooed hero grappling a beast; a designer could take their dynamic poses, dense hatching, and bold calligraphic captions as graphic references.
