[絵本] 〔８〕朝鮮変動記第１号下

宮田伊助編 · 1882 · 宮田伊助 · 23 pictures

An 1882 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published and compiled by Miyata Isuke, a woodblock-printed news account of the Korean upheaval of that year, aimed at a general reading public. The pictures are bold, simply outlined black-and-white woodblock scenes set beside dense columns of Japanese text, with figures in uniforms, kimono and Western-style dress; a designer might borrow their strong contour lines, compact panel layouts and the pairing of image with vertical text.
