[絵本] 〔46〕 佐倉宗五郎一代記 上

大西庄之助 編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 21 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Onishi Shonosuke and published in 1885, telling the life story of the Sakura village hero Sogoro in woodblock-style prints. The pictures are bold black-and-white line drawings with dense vertical columns of Japanese text, showing robed figures in kimono and hakama, interiors with screens and tatami, and a seated council scene, offering a designer strong graphic contrast, patterned fabric motifs, and compact text-and-image page layouts.
