絵本石山軍記

1886 · 駸々堂 · 19 pictures

An 1886 Japanese picture book (ehon) published by Shinshindō, retelling military tales of the Ishiyama war in woodblock-style black-and-white prints. The illustrations show armoured samurai in interiors and gardens, and a designer might take their bold dense linework, patterned kimono textures and framed text panels as reference for graphic patterning.
