[絵本] 〔1〕 森三勇士伝 上

周春 画 · 1882 · 沢村屋清吉 · 18 pictures

A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) published in 1882 by Sawamuraya Seikichi, with illustrations by Shūshun, whose record gives no further audience. The pictures show warriors in patterned robes, a figure beneath weeping willow, and a grave scene, all framed by columns of kana text; a designer might take their bold outlines, dense textile patterns and compact text-image layouts.
