[絵本] 〔５１〕堀部安兵衛一代記下

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 22 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) of 1885, published by 大西庄之助, showing samurai scenes from the Horibe Yasubei biography in woodblock-printed pages with dense columns of text. The pictures are bold black-line figures with simple flat grounds, and a designer might take their strong silhouettes, patterned kimono textures and vertical text panels as graphic reference.
