[絵本] 〔１９〕佐野鹿十郎実記下

辻岡文助編 · 1881 · 辻岡文助 · 18 pictures

An 1881 Japanese ehon picture book, volume 19 of a Sano Shikan-jūrō tale, compiled and published by Tsujioka Bunsuke in Japan for a popular readership. Its pages are woodblock prints with dense columns of vertical kana text framing a figure in each scene: a samurai drawing a long sword, a standing warrior in a patterned robe, a seated man in a room with shoji screens, and a figure with a raised blade. A designer could take the bold outline line work, the sword diagonals, and the text-and-image layouts as models for dynamic action compositions.
