一谷武者画土産||絵本太功記

1 picture

A Japanese picture book (ehon) whose record gives no maker, date, or intended readership, so the entry rests on its title and subject alone. The single picture shows a page of large green brush-written characters on pale paper, with a vertical column of kanji and a hanging ornamental mark, suggesting a designer might take the bold calligraphic rhythm and the contrast of dense green strokes against cream ground for lettering-based layouts.
