絵本呉越軍談
An 1885 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) by Ikeda Tōri, published by Tenshidō, drawing on Chinese historical war tales of Wu and Yue for a general readership. The woodblock-style pictures show robed court figures, a seated ruler with attendants, and a figure resting beneath a large gnarled tree, with dense, bold inked lines and framed text cartouches a designer could borrow for period costume and composition.
