[絵本] 〔３〕伊賀越仇討下

永島辰五郎編 · 1882 · 小森宗次郎 · 20 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) from 1882, compiled by Nagashima Tatsugorō and published by Komori Sōjirō, illustrating a vendetta tale for popular readers. The woodblock-style pages pair dense vertical Japanese text columns with bold black-and-white figures in kimono, with the text woven around the images. A designer might take from them the strong ink contour lines, patterned kimono textiles, and the way text and image interlock on the page.
