[絵本] 〔３〕 成田利生角力仇討 上

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), issued in 1881 by the publisher Miyata Kōsuke, with text compiled by Nagashima Tatsugorō and illustrated by Hōsai Yoshitora. The pages mix black-line figure drawings with columns of Japanese text, showing samurai, a stripe-and-check robed man, and a tree-framed scene. A designer might take the bold outlines, hatched patterning of kimono, and the way vertical text columns frame the figures.
