[絵本] 〔1〕 沢村田之助曙草紙 4編下

岡本起泉 (勘造) 編, 芳川春濤 閲 · 1882 · 島鮮堂 · 19 pictures

An 1882 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published by Tōsendō, compiled by Okamoto Kisen with Yoshikawa Shuntō as reviser, a woodblock-printed picture book of the Meiji period. Its woodcut pages pair dense columns of Japanese text with bold black-line scenes of seated figures, interiors, and a standing warrior among bamboo, offering a designer strong graphic contrast and expressive hatched patterns in kimono textiles.
