沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 20 pictures

This is a Japanese ehon picture book published in 1887 by Sawa Kyujiro, a woodblock-printed popular storybook recounting the Ōoka trial tales of the impostor Tenichibō. Its pages pair dense columns of vertical kana text with crude black-and-white figure scenes of samurai and townspeople in interiors and courtyards, offering a designer bold silhouetted figures, strong graphic hatching of robes, and an economical layout where text columns frame the central image.
