[絵本] 〔５〕実説伊達大評定下

山村清助編 · 1885 · 堤吉兵衛 · 25 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Yamamura Seisuke and published by Tsutsumi Kichibei in 1885, printed in Japan for a popular readership. Its woodblock pages show seated samurai in patterned kimono with dense Japanese text columns and ink captions beside the figures. A designer could take the bold black-and-white line work, the patterned robe textures, and the integration of calligraphic text into the image.
