[絵本] 〔２１〕由井正雪一代記下

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 21 pictures

This is a Japanese ehon picture book, published in 1885 by Onishi Shonosuke, a woodblock-printed narrative of the life of the rebel Yui Shosetsu, with text columns framing each scene. Its pictures show tightly composed figure groups in ink line with dense calligraphic panels, a useful model for dramatic kabuki-style storytelling and compact text-image layout.
