[絵本] 〔33〕 十団子宇都谷峠 下

大西庄之助 編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 18 pictures

A Japanese ehon picture book compiled by Onishi Shonosuke and published by him in 1885, with woodblock-style pictures and columns of kana-and-kanji text. The pictures show a costumed samurai figure, a man in striped robes at a table, a ghostly figure with a mask, and a seated pair in a room with sliding screens; a designer might take their bold outlines, flat black masses, and dense text-image layout as reference for graphic composition.
