[絵本] 〔１４〕 佐賀怪猫伝

1890 · 綱島亀吉 · 4 pictures

An 1890 Japanese ehon picture book titled Saga Kaibyoden, published by Kametsuchi Tsunashima in Japan for general readers of woodblock-era illustrated fiction. Its pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style prints showing a snowy mountain over a lake with lanterns, a seated man reading beside a kneeling procession, a dark-robed samurai in an interior, a ghostly cat-like monster with a woman in a panel scene, and a tall-masted sailing ship with a banner; a designer might take bold line hatching, framed vertical text panels, and dramatic night-scene compositions from them.
