[絵本] 〔１４〕 幡随院長兵衛

牧金之助 編, 梅堂国政 画 · 1888 · 金寿堂 · 7 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in Tokyo in 1888, compiled by Makino Kinnosuke and illustrated by Umedo Kunimasa, with the Kinjudo imprint. Its woodblock-printed pages show samurai and townsmen in dramatic scenes with calligraphic text panels, and the black-and-white linework of crowded figures, patterned kimono and fine hatching offers a designer a strong reference for bold narrative illustration.
