[絵本] 〔27〕 敵討亀山実記 上

大西庄之助 編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 21 pictures

A Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published in 1885, likely for a general popular readership, as its pages mix woodblock figures with dense columns of text. The pictures show kimono-clad men in dramatic poses, with a designer able to take from them the strong figure silhouettes, flowing patterned robes and hatched, inked linework typical of late Edo-style print design.
