[絵本] 〔２４〕義勇佐野鹿十郎一代記下

沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 20 pictures

This is a Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Sawa Hisajirō and published by him in 1887, printed from woodblocks for general readers. Its pictures show samurai warriors in patterned robes and armour, drawn in bold black outlines with dense text columns set around the figures. A designer could take the strong graphic contrast of solid black masses against intricate geometric patterning, and the layout of figures framed by vertical columns of script.
