鶴田真容編, 守川周重画 · 1879 · 小森宗次郎 · 16 pictures

A Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1879 by Komori Sojiro, compiled by Tsuruta Masune and illustrated by Morikawa Chikashige, telling the story of the Osaka rebellion of Oshio Heihachiro for a popular readership. Its woodblock-style pages pair dramatic figure scenes with dense vertical columns of text, showing how a designer can combine bold black ink silhouettes, swirling cloud and smoke shapes, and framed text panels to structure a page.
