絵本鼠小僧実記
An 1887 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published by Kyōsōya, retelling the exploits of the Edo-period thief Nezumi Kozō, likely for a popular general readership. Its pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style line drawings of samurai, townspeople and interiors, with bold outlines, dense hatching on patterned kimono and sparse stippled backgrounds, useful for a designer studying tight line work and graphic narrative framing.
