絵本楠公三代軍記
An 1888 Japanese picture book (ehon) published by Ginkadō, its catalogue record giving only the title 絵本楠公三代軍記 and the subject heading for ehon. The four pictures are woodblock-style prints of samurai in armour and courtly figures in black-robed costume, with captions set in rectangular cartouches. A designer could take the bold black ink masses, the armour's lamellar patterning, and the framed text panels as a model for period Japanese graphic layout.
