[絵本] 〔２１〕由井正雪一代記上

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 21 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published in 1885, its woodblock-style pages pair full-page illustrations with columns of Japanese text. The pictures show samurai, a seated courtier-like figure, a demon-masked warrior and a woman in patterned kimono, with a designer taking away bold black-and-white silhouette shapes, dense hatching and flat patterned textiles.
