[絵本] 〔２〕 佐野報義録

沢久次郎 編 · 1889 · 沢久次郎 · 6 pictures

A Meiji-period Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Sawa Kyūjirō and published by him in 1889, printed as woodblock-style illustrations set within dense columns of Japanese text. The pages show swordfights and a ninja-like figure in a tree, with strong black silhouettes, dynamic diagonal poses and heavy hatching that a designer could borrow for bold graphic compositions.
