絵本松前屋五郎兵衛伝
This is a Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published in 1886 by Nichigetsudō, with its editor unknown, presumably for general readers of popular fiction. Its woodblock-style black-and-white pictures show seated men in kimono in tatami rooms, with a sword confrontation and details of domestic interiors, offering a designer strong examples of compositional framing through sliding screens, floor patterns, and dense hatched textures.
