[絵本] 〔３〕敵討岩見重太郎上

綱島亀吉編 · 1881 · 島鮮堂 · 21 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese ehon picture book from 1881, compiled by Kameki Tsunashima and published by Tosendō, telling a revenge story of the samurai Iwami Jūtarō for a general readership. Its woodblock pages show dramatic scenes of armoured warriors among pines, willows and interiors, with dense columns of kana text running around the figures, offering a designer strong examples of bold black-and-white line, graphic framing and text-image layout.
