絵本難波戦記

1890 · 中桐れい · 11 pictures

This is a Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published in 1890 by Nakagiri Rei, a woodblock-style print book drawing on the Naniwa war chronicles. Its pictures show armoured and court-dressed figures in bold black-and-white line work, with crisp patterned robes, scattered square motifs and dense cloud shapes that a designer could borrow for graphic patterning and strong silhouettes.
