絵本通俗水滸伝 巻1
A Japanese illustrated book (ehon) of 1898 published by Sanshindō, presenting a popular telling of the Water Margin (Suikoden) story, with its text recorded by the storyteller Momokawa Enrin and the stenographer Imamura Jirō. The pages are woodblock-style black and white line prints of warriors, women and fighting scenes, showing dynamic action, dense patterned textiles, and bold outlines that a designer could draw on for compositions of struggle and movement.
