絵本曽我物語
An 1887 Japanese woodblock-style picture book (ehon) edited by Naitō Hikoichi and published by Yasukawa Matashichi, retelling the Soga brothers' vendetta tale for a general reading public. Its pictures show samurai in robes and armour in plain interiors, with dense Japanese columns of text beside the scenes, offering a designer strong examples of bold black-line figure drawing, compact panel layouts, and vertical text integrated with image.
