[絵本] 〔16〕 岩見重太郎豪傑譚 上

荒川吉五郎 編 · 1882 · 荒川吉五郎 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) published in 1882 by Arakawa Kichigorō, compiled by Arakawa, telling the heroic tale of Iwami Jūtarō. The pages pair full-length warrior figures with dense columns of printed Japanese text, so a designer can study how image and vertical text share a single page.
