[絵本] 〔１〕五人殲苦魔物語初編中

柳水亭種清編 · 1882 · 小林鉄次郎 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Ryūsuitei Tanesei and published by Kobayashi Tetsujirō in 1882, aimed at general readers and printed with woodblock-style black-and-white illustrations framed by columns of Japanese text. The four pictures show a seated samurai in a patterned kimono, a sword fight with a striking figure in a dark robe, a kneeling swordsman beneath a window, and a figure in a white robe beside a pine tree; a designer might take their bold black line work, dense text-and-image layouts, and striped hakama patterns.
