岩見武勇伝 : 絵本実録

編輯人不詳 · 1887 · 辻岡文助 · 19 pictures

An 1887 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Tsujioka Bunsuke, its author unknown, retelling heroic tales of Iwami in a popular printed format. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style prints of samurai in action among trees, indoors at a sliding-screen doorway, and a figure in a garden, with dense hatched patterns on robes and armour that suggest bold textile and pattern motifs for a designer.
