絵本楠公記
An 1885 Japanese picture book (ehon) published by Kinshōdō, a illustrated narrative about the samurai Kusunoki Masashige, aimed at general readers. Its woodblock-printed pages show armoured warriors in interiors and courtly scenes with women in patterned robes, rendered in dense black line and hatched textile patterns that a designer could draw on for bold graphic linework, pattern fills and period costume detail.
