[絵本] 〔７〕白井権八一代記下

辻岡文助編 · 1881 · 辻岡文助 · 17 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published in 1881 by Tsujioka Bunsuke, a volume of the Shiraishi Gonpachi-style warrior tale, printed as woodblock-derived pictures with dense kana text in columns. The pages show a kneeling samurai, a swordfight, a seated exchange, and a lone figure on a rocky shore, with calligraphic captions framing each scene, offering a designer strong examples of monochrome Japanese narrative layout.
