[絵本] 〔5〕 実説伊達大評定 上

山村清助 編 · 1885 · 堤吉兵衛 · 21 pictures

An 1885 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) compiled by Yamamura Seisuke and published by Tsutsumi Kichibei, a popular picture book for general readers. Its woodblock-style figure scenes show seated and standing men and women in patterned kimono and formal dress within interiors with sliding screens and wooden architecture, with dense Japanese text columns beside them. A designer might draw on the bold black linework, patterned textile motifs, and the compact framing of figures against architectural lines.
