[絵本] 〔1〕 美男水滸伝

大西庄之助 編 · 1885 · 松延堂 · 24 pictures

An 1885 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) titled Bijo Suikoden, compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published by Shōenkōdō, presenting heroic warrior scenes in woodblock-style prints. The pictures show figures in patterned robes, sea serpents, and ghostly apparitions drawn in bold black-and-white line, with dense hatching and cloud motifs that a designer could borrow for high-contrast graphic patterns and textile-like surface design.
