[絵本] 〔３〕天保水滸伝

児玉又七編 · 1891 · 児玉又七 · 21 pictures

A Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) compiled by Kodama Matashichi and published in 1891, likely in Japan, illustrating the Tenpō-era outlaw tale of the Suikoden. The pictures are ink line drawings with calligraphic text columns beside the figures, showing dramatic swordplay, falling and staggering postures, and loose cropped compositions a designer could borrow for bold, gestural layouts.
