絵本英雄美談
An 1886 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) of heroic tales, published by Miyoshi Morio with the editor unnamed, aimed at general readers. Its pictures are woodblock-style black-and-white scenes of samurai and heroic figures in dramatic action, with dense ink textures, pine branches, bamboo fences and smoke clouds a designer could borrow for bold graphic compositions or period Japanese motifs.
