Wada (Yoshimori’s) Drinking Bout (An episode from Soga monogatari) (Wada sakamori)
This is a 1624 illustrated Japanese woodblock book from Osaka, published by Akashi Chūshichi, presenting an episode from the Soga monogatari tale in dense hand-brushed kana text beside full-page prints. The pictures show tense court and warrior scenes in soft, layered colour, with clouds, wooden architecture and armoured figures rendered in flat outlines that a designer could borrow for graphic compositions or ornamental framing.
