[絵本] 〔6〕 小栗判官一代記

児玉弥七 編 · 1884 · 大橋堂 · 16 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1884 by Ōhashidō and compiled by Kodama Yahichi, aimed at general readers, retelling the Ogura Hangan legend in woodblock-printed pages of text and images. The four pictures show armoured warriors and a kimono-clad woman in bold black outline with dense patterned textiles and armour, set among columns of vertical Japanese script, offering a designer strong models for graphic line work, pattern density, and text-image layout.
