[絵本] 〔４〕 天一坊奸謀録

児玉弥七 編 · 1884 · 大橋堂 · 13 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1884 by Ōhashidō, compiled by Kodama Yashichi, presenting the Tenichibō conspiracy story for a general readership. Its woodblock-style pages pair a framed scene of seated and standing figures in patterned kimono with columns of Japanese text, showing how a designer can combine image panels with dense vertical type and crest-decorated screens.
