岩見武勇伝 : 絵本実録

編輯人不詳 · 1887 · 市川かめ · 14 pictures

An 1887 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published by Ichikawa Kame, compiled by an unnamed editor, retelling warrior exploits in woodblock-style prints for a general popular readership. The pictures show armoured samurai in forest snow, sword fights on a rocky shore, and figures in a wooden interior with sliding screens, with bold black outlines and dense patterned textiles a designer could borrow for graphic motifs.
