[絵本] 〔５〕仮名手本忠臣蔵下

永島辰五郎編 · 1882 · 小森宗次郎 · 21 pictures

An 1882 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) volume five of the Kanadehon Chushingura, compiled by Nagashima Tatsugoro and published by Komori Sojiro, presenting the Chushingura revenge story through woodblock prints of kabuki-style actors in costume. The pages pair full-length figures with columns of printed kana text, so a designer can draw on the bold black-and-white line work, patterned kimono, and dense vertical text blocks.
