[絵本] 〔３０〕阿波鳴戸順礼殺上

沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 18 pictures

A Meiji-era (1887) Japanese ehon picture book published by Sawa Kyujiro, printed in woodblock style with kana text columns running alongside the images for a general popular readership. The pictures show costumed figures in interiors: a man in patterned kimono brandishing a long sword, a samurai holding a lantern beside a raised floor, a woman in a checked robe grappling with a prone man, and a woman at a chest of drawers with a seated man. Designers can take from them the bold black-and-white line work, dense patterned textiles, and the compact layout of text blocks around figures.
