[絵本] 〔３〕廿四孝

竹内栄久編 · 1885 · 島鮮堂 · 23 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published in 1885 by Shimasendō, compiled by Takeuchi Eiku, retelling the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars for a general readership. The woodblock-style pictures show seated and kneeling figures in patterned kimono against plain or lightly shaded grounds, with columns of vertical Japanese text beside each scene, offering a designer clear examples of compositional framing by text panel and figure placement.
