[絵本] 〔１５〕慶安太平記正雪一代記下

沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Sawa Kyujiro and published by him in 1887, printed from woodblocks with dense kana text in columns around the figures. The four pictures show samurai figures in black and patterned kimono, one carrying a sword, another in a checked-patterned robe fighting, and a group of armoured warriors pressed together under a banner, giving a designer clear examples of Edo-period woodblock figure composition, bold black outlines, and text-and-image layout.
