[絵本] 〔2〕 天保水滸伝

児玉弥七 編 · 1884 · 大橋堂 · 15 pictures

An 1884 Japanese ehon picture book, Tenpo Suikoden, compiled by Kodama Yashichi and published by Ohashido, showing outlaw-hero fights in woodblock-style prints with dense columns of kana text beside the figures. The pictures show swordsmen in mid-action, with bold ink outlines, dark hatched patterned kimono, and tightly packed text that a designer might use for dynamic poses and graphic text-image layouts.
