[絵本] 〔3〕 宮本二刀伝 下

宮田伊助 編 · 1882 · 宮田伊助 · 21 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese ehon picture book, compiled by Miyata Isuke and published by Miyata Isuke in 1882, with woodblock-style illustrations framed by columns of Japanese text. The pictures show samurai in dynamic poses, with bold black linework, patterned kimono, and swords, and a designer might take their energetic composition and dense text-image layouts as reference for graphic storytelling.
