[絵本] 〔３７〕村井長庵兇悪伝下

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-era (1885) Japanese picture book (ehon) published by Ōnishi Shōnosuke, with woodblock-style black-and-white illustrations surrounded by dense columns of handwritten kana and kanji text. The pictures show kimono-clad men in interior and street scenes, with a few figures in rooms with lattice screens and a fan-wielding figure. A designer might take the bold patterned textiles, the crowded text-and-image page layouts, and the expressive poses of the figures.
