[絵本] 〔３〕霜夜鐘十字辻筮初編下

武田交来編, 大蘇芳年画 · 1880 · 船津忠次郎 · 15 pictures

An 1880 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Takeda Kōrai and illustrated by Taiso Yoshitoshi, published by Funatsu Tadajirō, aimed at a general reading public. Its pages pair dense columns of Japanese text with bold ink-line figure drawings of a swordsman in loose robes and headcloth, shown in dynamic poses with a long sword, set against the printed columns for a striking woodblock-era contrast between text and image.
