[絵本] 〔２０〕復讐成田利生記下

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 22 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Onishi Shonosuke and published in 1885, aimed at general readers who enjoyed popular woodblock-style illustration. The pictures show sumo wrestlers and seated dignified men in patterned kimono, with columns of calligraphic text filling the margins around them. A designer might take the bold black-and-white patterned striping on the robes, the dense hand-lettered text blocks, and the dynamic wrestling poses.
