[絵本] 〔7〕 田宮坊太郎 上

宮田伊助 編 · 1882 · 宮田伊助 · 21 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published in 1882 by Miyata Isuke, with woodblock-style prints of samurai figures set beside columns of Japanese text. The pictures show dramatic swordsmen in kimono, strongly outlined and patterned, with a designer able to draw on their bold line work, dense kimono patterns, and the interplay of printed text and image.
