絵本小栗外伝 後編

山本常次郎 編 · 1887 · 隆湊堂 · 15 pictures

An 1887 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) edited by Yamamoto Tsunejirō and published by Ryūsōdō, a popular picture book for general readers. Its woodblock-style pictures show dramatic scenes with a samurai figure in patterned robes, a kneeling woman, and text columns in the margins; a designer might take the bold patterned kimono textiles, the swirling hair and waves, and the strong black-and-white line work.
