岩見武勇伝 : 絵本実録

柾木素堂 編 · 1888 · 偉業館 · 11 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated book (ehon) of 1888, compiled by Masaki Sodo and published by Igyokan, presenting popular tales of warriors in woodblock-style prints for a general reading audience. The four pictures show crisp black-line figures with flat patterned costume, interior screens and a moonlit grove, offering a designer strong examples of bold outline drawing, patterned textiles and compositions that place a single figure against architectural framing.
