[絵本] 〔５〕成田山利生記上

宮田伊助編 · 1882 · 宮田伊助 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Miyata Isuke and published by Miyata Isuke in 1882, printed as woodblock-style black-and-white illustrations with vertical Japanese text columns. The pictures show kabuki-style warriors and figures in robes and hakama, with inscribed captions naming each character. A designer might take from them the bold graphic contrast of black line and white space, the striped and patterned kimono textures, and the compositional rhythm of text panels alongside action figures.
