絵本通俗武王軍談
An 1887 Japanese illustrated popular history (ehon) titled 絵本通俗武王軍談, published by Ōyanagi Masamichi for a general readership, its woodblock-style pages are rotated on the scan. The black-and-white line illustrations show figures in robes and armour amid rocks, trees, cranes and mountains, with vertical columns of Japanese text beside them, offering a designer dense linework, cropped pictorial compositions and calligraphic framing devices.
