[絵本] 〔2〕 大久保盥登城 上

周春 画 · 1882 · 沢村屋清吉 · 17 pictures

An 1882 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Sawamuraya Seikichi, illustrated by Shūshun, with text in columns beside the scenes. Its woodblock-style pictures show armoured samurai at a wooden fence, a seated man in a plain room, a figure tending a flowering plant, and a richly patterned robe scene with a bald attendant. A designer could draw on the bold black linework, the patterned armour and textile motifs, and the framed text panels laid beside the images.
