[絵本] 〔３〕 高橋阿伝夜叉譚 初編 上

仮名垣魯文 (猫々道人) 編 · 1880 · 金松堂 · 11 pictures

A Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Kanagaki Robun under the pen name Neko Neko Dojin, published in 1880 by Kinmatsudo in Tokyo for a general reading public. Its woodblock-printed pictures show dramatic scenes of fighting, with stylised figures in patterned kimono, swords and tense poses, drawn in bold black line with dense hatching that a designer could borrow for graphic patterning and high-contrast action compositions.
