絵本通俗水滸伝 巻8
A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated book, volume 8 of a popular retelling of the Water Margin, published in 1898 by Sanshindō, with text recorded by Momokawa Enrin and shorthand taken by Imamura Jirō for a general reading public. The three woodblock-style plates show crowded interior scenes with figures at tables and in action, rendered in bold outline with dense hatching that a designer could use for dramatic figure compositions, dynamic movement and patterned textile or ornament detail.
