絵本忠臣蔵
An 1886 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) titled Ehon Chūshingura, written by Shimizu Beishū and published by Uedaya, retelling the samurai vendetta tale for general readers. Its black-and-white woodblock-style prints show dense patterned kimono textures, scattered falling-petal fields, and interior scenes of figures at writing and quiet domestic moments, offering a designer strong graphic patterning, figure silhouettes, and dramatic motion against flat dark ground.
