絵本徳川十五代記
An 1886 Japanese woodblock-style picture book published by Kokodō, a Meiji-era ehon of historical figures from the Tokugawa period, its title in Japanese. Its pages show bold black-line figures in ceremonial robes and armour, with captions in Japanese set in ornamented panels. A designer could take the strong contour line work, dense patterned textiles, and the framed, centred compositions of seated and standing figures.
