絵本天一坊実記

1892 · 戸田為次郎 · 9 pictures

This is a late Meiji Japanese illustrated book (ehon) from 1892, published by Toda Tamejiro, retelling the Tenichibo affair for a general reading public. Its pictures are woodblock-style prints showing samurai in kimono and hakama in interiors and street scenes, with dense vertical columns of text and framed panels. A designer might take the bold black-and-white hatching, compact panel layouts, and the way text and image share one page.
