[絵本] 〔５〕丸橋忠弥由井正雪慶安太平記下

永島辰五郎編, 孟斎芳虎画 · 1881 · 宮田孝助 · 21 pictures

An 1881 Japanese ehon picture book, compiled by Nagashima Tatsugoro and illustrated by Gekkosai Yoshitora, published by Miyata Kosuke, retelling the Keian Taiheiki tale of Marubashi Chuya and Yui Shosetsu for a popular readership. The four pages show bold, angular figures in dark kimono and armour, with dense columns of vertical text filling the margins, a pattern a designer might borrow for strong figure silhouettes and energetic woodblock-style action.
