[絵本] 〔２〕 佐野鹿十郎義勇伝 下

永島辰五郎 編, 孟斎芳虎 画 · 1881 · 宮田孝助 · 21 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) published in 1881 by Miyata Kōsuke, compiled by Nagashima Tatsugorō and illustrated by Hōsai Yoshitora, telling a heroic tale of Sano Shikarō. The pictures show samurai in patterned kimono and hakama with swords, drawn in bold black outlines with columns of Japanese text beside them; a designer might take the dense, patterned textiles and the vigorous action poses of the swordsmen.
