[絵本] 〔21〕 実録伊達評定記 下

辻岡文助 編 · 1881 · 辻岡文助 · 16 pictures

This is a Japanese ehon picture book issued in 1881 by publisher Tsujioka Bunsuke, compiled by Tsujioka Bunsuke, illustrating a late-Edo-style chronicle of the Date clan's council-of-retainers story for a general reading public. The pages show samurai in patterned kimono and armour, seated or standing before dense columns of vertical Japanese text, with bold geometric fret and key-pattern backgrounds that a designer could borrow for graphic framing.
