絵本石山軍記
An 1887 Japanese woodblock-style picture book (ehon) published by Kakusei-sha, illustrating the Ishiyama war chronicle for a general reading audience. The four pages show samurai in formal interiors, with the figures set against patterned screens, clouds and architectural frames in a bold black-and-white line style. A designer could draw on the strong silhouettes, dense textile patterns and compact panel compositions for graphic motifs.
