嘉永水滸伝絵本国定忠治実記
An 1886 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Meishindō, with its editor unnamed, drawn for a general readership and retelling a Kaei-era outlaw tale in the manner of the Suikoden stories. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style prints of samurai and townspeople in dramatic action, with pine trees, waves, and interior screens recurring. A designer might take their bold figure silhouettes, patterned kimono textures, and the strong contrast of dense line against open white space.
