This is a Meiji-era Japanese illustrated book (ehon) from 1879, published by Komori Sōjirō, with text compiled by Tsuruta Masamasa and pictures by Morikawa Chikashige, telling a story about the Ōshio Heihachirō uprising in Osaka. Its pictures are woodblock prints with dense columns of Japanese text running beside figures in period dress, showing how a designer might combine a strong figure drawing with a text-led page layout.
