絵本荒川武勇伝
Ehon Arakawa Buyūden is an 1887 Japanese picture book published by Fujitani Torazō, a woodblock-style illustrated book of warriors in the ehon tradition. The pictures show armoured and robed figures in dynamic poses against pine branches and wave or water patterns, with richly patterned costumes that a designer could draw on for bold geometric textile motifs and ink-line figure composition.
