[絵本] 〔2〕 宮本一代記 上

沢久次郎 編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 19 pictures

An 1887 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Sawa Kyujiro, a woodblock-printed narrative about the life of Miyamoto, likely aimed at general readers. Its pages show bold black-line figures in kimono and hakama with dense columns of Japanese text, offering a designer strong graphic contrast between hatched patterns, calligraphic captions and simple figure silhouettes.
