絵本真田三代記 第6-10編

編者不詳 · 1884 · 成文社 · 15 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated book (ehon) from 1884, published by Seibunsha, with the compiler unknown; it retells the Sanada family's chronicles in volumes six to ten. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style prints of samurai in armour and robes set against pine trees, lattice screens and courtyards, with a designer able to draw on their bold inked linework, dense patterning and strong figure silhouettes.
