[絵本] 〔10〕 大岡政談之内越後伝吉譚 上

大西庄之助 編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 21 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Onishi Shonosuke and published in 1885, likely aimed at general readers and drawn from the Ooka court-tale tradition. Its woodblock-style pages pair crowded Japanese text columns with figures in kimono, and the images show seated townspeople, a woman with a tray or basket, and a cloth-patterned robe, offering a designer strong graphic contrast between dense calligraphic lines and bold striped or patterned textiles.
