An 1885 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) by Ikeda Tōri, published by Bunjidō, drawing on the Gojō-Etsu war tales and aimed at general readers. Its woodblock-style pictures show robed courtiers and warriors in pine-tree settings, interior audience scenes with screens and raised dais, and a seated prisoner held by a standing swordsman, offering a designer clear models of East Asian dress, staging and composition.
