[絵本] 〔２３〕毛谷村六介一代記上

沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 16 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1887 by Sawa Kyujiro, a commercial Tokyo publisher, with its woodblock-style pages pairing illustrations with columns of printed kana text for a general popular readership. The pictures show robed men and armoured warriors in interiors and under flowering branches, drawn in bold black outlines with patterned textiles that suggest motifs for textile, pattern, or kimono-inspired graphic work.
