[絵本] 〔２〕大久保盥登城中

周春画 · 1882 · 沢村屋清吉 · 23 pictures

This is a Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) published in 1882 by Sawamuraya Seikichi, with pictures attributed to Shūshun and text in Japanese columns. The pictures show samurai in formal robes and hakama in interiors, some with swords, and a fight scene with a fallen figure. A designer could take from them the dense hatched patterns of kimono and hakama, the crest (mon) roundels, and the framing of figures against text columns.
