[絵本] 佐倉惣吾真の実録東叡山農夫の願書下

竹内栄久編, 梅堂国政画 · 1884 · 栄久堂 · 24 pictures

This is a Japanese ehon picture book, the second volume of a Meiji-era illustrated retelling of a true account of the Sakura Sōgorō petition, compiled by Takeuchi Eiku, illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa and published by Eikudō in 1884 for popular readers. Its woodblock-style prints pair full-length figures in striped kimono and crests with dense columns of Japanese text, and a designer might borrow the bold black-and-white graphic contrast, the striped patterns, and the text-and-image page layouts.
