岩見武勇伝 : 絵本実録

1893 · 錦耕堂 · 11 pictures

An 1893 Japanese ehon picture book titled in Japanese as a true-record account of warrior tales, published by Kinkōdō, likely for a general popular readership. Its pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style prints of samurai in action, with bold outlines, dense hatching on clothing and ground, and framed inscription panels that a designer could draw on for graphic compositions with strong figure silhouettes and calligraphic text blocks.
