[絵本] 〔２３〕復讐殿下茶店聚上

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 20 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published by him in 1885, aimed at a general reading public. Its woodblock-printed pages pair kana-and-kanji text columns with bold black-line figures of samurai in action, and the pictures show dramatic poses, dark kimono and hakama patterns, and stylised motion lines a designer could adapt for bold graphic compositions.
