[絵本] 〔４〕田宮坊太郎一代記上

沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 21 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Sawa Kyujiro and published by him in 1887, apparently aimed at general readers and young audiences. Its woodblock-style pages show samurai and townsfolk in dynamic poses with vertical columns of Japanese text running beside the scenes, and a designer might take their bold black linework, hatched robe patterns, and compact figure groupings as models for graphic composition.
