[絵本] 〔4〕 隅田川誉の乗切 下

宮田伊助 編 · 1882 · 宮田伊助 · 21 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Miyata Isuke in 1882 and published by Miyata Isuke, likely for a popular readership. Its pages are black-and-white woodblock-style prints with dense columns of Japanese text running alongside the images. The pictures show dramatic turbulent water, figures in patterned robes and striped garments, and a sea serpent-like creature rising from waves, offering a designer strong models for bold stylized wave patterns, high-contrast linework, and kinetic composition.
