[絵本] 〔６〕 廿四孝

1890 · 綱島亀吉 · 2 pictures

A Japanese ehon picture book from 1890, published by Tsunashima Kamekichi, with Japanese text, illustrating the Twenty-Four Paragons of Filial Piety. Its woodblock-style pages show scenes of traditional figures in costume, outdoor settings and carts, which suggests bold figure compositions, dense black linework and flat patterned robes for designers.
