絵本佐賀怪猫伝
An 1886 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) titled Ehon Saga Kaibyōden, compiled by Maki Kinnosuke and published by Kinjudō, retelling a ghost-cat legend in woodblock-style prints with dense vertical text columns. The pictures show a robed samurai figure seated or standing in interiors with sliding screens, paper lanterns, and a glowing pair of eyes emerging from darkness; a designer might take the strong black-and-white contrast, the hatched patterned kimono textures, and the framing of narrative panels separated by ruled borders.
