[絵本] 〔4〕 隅田川誉の乗切 上

宮田伊助 編 · 1882 · 宮田伊助 · 21 pictures

A Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Miyata Isuke and published by him in 1882, with woodblock-style black-and-white prints of Edo-period scenes and Japanese text columns beside them. The pictures show lively figures in a rural and town setting, with rough lines and dense hatching a designer could borrow for bold, graphic, hand-cut illustration.
