絵本平井権八一代記

1886 · 文泉堂 · 15 pictures

A Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1886 by Bunsendō, retelling the life of the outlaw-hero Hirai Gonpachi for a general readership. Its woodblock-style pages show dramatic samurai scenes with dense black-and-white line work, bold contour, and patterned kimono textures that suggest strong figure silhouettes and decorative hatching for a designer.
