絵本加藤清正一代実記

岡田霞船 編 · 1886 · 金盛堂 · 37 pictures

An 1886 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) on the life of the warlord Kato Kiyomasa, compiled by Okada Kasen and published by Kinseido, for a general readership. Its pictures are woodblock-style battle scenes with dense vertical Japanese text panels, showing armoured samurai in dynamic action, and a designer could take their bold black-and-white figure poses, armour patterns and framed text-and-image layout.
