[絵本] 〔12〕 安珍清姫譚 下

竹内栄久 編, 梅堂国政 画 · 1884 · 小森宗次郎 · 22 pictures

An 1884 Japanese ehon picture book, volume 12, the lower volume of the Anchin and Kiyohime tale, compiled by Takeuchi Eiku and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa for a general readership and published by Komori Sōjirō in Tokyo. Its woodblock-style line illustrations show samurai-costumed figures in patterned kimono, interiors with sliding screens, and a riverside bridge scene, with dense vertical text columns around them that suggest a designer could borrow the rhythm of text and image layouts.
