[絵本] 〔4〕 白浪五人男伝

森本順三郎 著 · 1888 · 森本順三郎 · 17 pictures

A Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) published in 1888 by Morimoto Junzaburo, a publisher's edition of a popular story about outlaw heroes, aimed at general readers. The pictures are black-and-white block-print scenes of crowded figures in patterned kimono, with calligraphic text panels set beside them; a designer might borrow the bold linework, dense checked and striped textile patterns, and the way text and image share one framed page.
