[絵本] 〔10〕 岩見重太郎実伝 下

永島福太郎 編, 孟斎芳虎 画 · 1880 · 堤吉兵衛 · 20 pictures

An 1880 Japanese ehon picture book published by Tsutsumi Kichibei, illustrated by Gessai Yoshitora and compiled by Nagashima Fukutaro, retelling the true-story exploits of the samurai Iwami Juutaro in woodblock prints. The pictures show dense, hatched black-and-white line work with crowded armoured warriors, swirling motion, and calligraphic text panels, offering a designer strong examples of dynamic group compositions and bold graphic pattern.
