[絵本] 〔１〕 復讐曽我物語 下

永島辰五郎 編 · 1881 · 長谷川忠兵衛 · 14 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Nagashima Tatsugoro and published in 1881 by Hasegawa Chubee, aimed at general readers and telling the Soga vendetta tale through woodblock prints with kana and kanji captions. The pages show warriors in armour, a samurai drawing a sword, and figures in patterned robes against pine branches and rough ground, giving a designer strong examples of dynamic line, hatched shading, and compact narrative panel layouts.
