[絵本] 〔５〕 岩見武勇伝

堤吉兵衛 編 · 1891 · 堤吉兵衛 · 2 pictures

This is a Japanese ehon picture book, volume 5 of the Iwami Buyūden series, compiled by Tsutsumi Kichibei and published by him in 1891 in Japan. Its woodblock-style black and white pages show samurai scenes, with a seated man in a patterned robe beside a ceramic vessel and an action fight among flowering trees and fencing. A designer might take the dense calligraphic panels, bold figure outlines, and striped and patterned kimono textures as models for strong graphic composition.
