絵本慶安太平記

編輯人不詳 · 1889 · 門戸平吉 · 3 pictures

Ehon picture book Keian Taiheiki, an 1889 Japanese illustrated book published by Kadoya Heikichi in Tokyo, compiled by an unnamed editor for a general readership. Its three woodblock-style prints show a samurai in formal dress under an umbrella and a figure at night among tall bamboo, with a ghostly white trail in the third; a designer might take the bold black-and-white contrast, vertical rhythms of bamboo or slatted fences, and the patterned hakama and kimono textures.
