岩見武勇伝 : 絵本実録

編輯人不詳 · 1886 · 金松堂 · 20 pictures

An 1886 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published by Kinshōdō, its author unknown, presenting a true-record style account of warriors and heroic exploits for a general popular readership. The woodblock-style prints show armoured fighters in dynamic combat, a fierce figure breaking through a window, and a seated woman with a fan indoors, their bold outlines and dense hatching offering designers a model for energetic action compositions and framed interior vignettes.
