[絵本] 〔１３〕大岡政談之内天一坊物語下

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 17 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Onishi Shonosuke and published in 1885, aimed at general readers, and it is the second volume of a Tenichibo story drawn from Ōoka judge tales. The pages are woodblock-style black-and-white prints with dense columns of vertical kana text beside full-figure samurai and townspeople; a designer might take from them the strong flat black outlines, patterned kimono textures, and the tight integration of image and vertical text blocks.
