[絵本] 〔４〕田宮坊太郎一代記下

沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 23 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published in 1887 by Sawa Kyujiro, a woodblock-printed popular fiction volume about the samurai Tamiya Bōtarō, with text columns of kana and kanji running alongside the scenes. The pictures are bold black-line woodcuts of swordfighting and dramatic poses, with patterned kimono, hakama, tiled walls and tatami floors, which a designer might take as a model for strong graphic silhouettes, hatched textile patterns, and the integration of text and image.
