[絵本] 〔２４〕伊賀越仇討下

辻岡文助編 · 1881 · 辻岡文助 · 18 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Tsujioka Bunsuke and published in 1881, presenting the vendetta narrative of the Iga-goe revenge story in woodblock-printed pages with captioned text. The four pictures show samurai in combat, a figure crouched in a garden setting, and a swordsman in a patterned kimono, with columns of kana text running alongside. A designer could take from them the compressed staging of action in flat fields, the bold patterned textiles, and the dense vertical text blocks used as graphic framing.
