絵本真田三代記 第11,13-15編

編者不詳 · 1884 · 成文社 · 10 pictures

This is a Japanese woodblock-style picture book (ehon) from 1884, published by Seibunsha, with unnamed editors, illustrating episodes from the Sanada family chronicle for a general readership. Its pictures show armoured samurai in coastal and pine-tree settings with flowing robes, rendered in bold black ink outlines and sparse hatching that a designer could take as a model for strong figure silhouettes and graphic line work.
