[絵本] 〔６〕 越後伝吉実録

堤吉兵衛 編 · 1891 · 堤吉兵衛 · 6 pictures

A Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Tsutsumi Kichibei and published in 1891, retelling the exploits of the Echigo outlaw Denkichi in woodblock-style prints with kana and kanji captions. The pictures show samurai-period townspeople in tense confrontations, moonlit night scenes, and interiors with sliding screens, offering a designer dense black-and-white line work, strong figure poses, and framed text panels to borrow for layout.
