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, likely for a general popular readership. Its woodblock-style pages pair dense columns of Japanese kana text with figures of samurai-costumed men in interior and outdoor scenes. The pictures show bold black-and-white line work, patterned kimono, and calligraphic text blocks framing each figure, a useful reference for strong graphic layouts that combine image and type.
