[絵本] 〔49〕 神崎与五郎誠忠伝 下

大西庄之助 編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 23 pictures

An 1885 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Ōnishi Shōnosuke, retelling the loyal-retainer story of Kanzaki Yogorō in woodblock prints with dense kana and kanji text. The pictures show samurai in combat and seated scenes with flowing lines, black-and-white contrast and calligraphic captions, useful to designers seeking bold graphic pen-and-ink narrative layouts with text integrated into the image.
