絵本徳川十五代記

清水市次郎 編 · 1886 · 駸々堂 · 26 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese ehon picture book printed in 1886 by Shimizu Jirō for the Shinshindō publisher, presenting the fifteen Tokugawa shoguns through group portraits of court and samurai figures. The woodblock-style pages show robed nobles, armoured warriors and seated attendants framed by vertical Japanese captions and small name cartouches, offering a designer examples of compact figure grouping, patterned kimono textiles and dense hatched armour that work well as reference for historical or period graphics.
