[絵本] 〔17〕 梅廼加賀金沢実記 上

大西庄之助 編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 19 pictures

A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published in 1885, likely for a general popular readership, with each page pairing a seated samurai figure with a column of vertical Japanese text. The pages show kneeling warriors in patterned kimono and hakama, with compositions that frame a single figure against a simple interior, screen, pine branch or wall, and calligraphic text set in narrow columns beside the figure.
