A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Kamekichi Tsunashima and published in 1881 by Tōsendō, retelling a vendetta story about the warrior Iwami Jūtarō for a popular readership. Its woodblock pages pair bold, dense figure scenes with columns of printed text, offering designers a model for combining strong black-and-white figure drawing with vertical typography and framed panels.
