絵本平泉実記 : 鎌倉外伝
An 1886 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published by Kinseidō, a picture book of the Kamakura-era Heike and Heian-era tales, likely meant for a general reading public. Its pages are black-and-white woodblock-style prints showing samurai in armour and robes, with calligraphic captions set into the margins; a designer might borrow the bold ink silhouettes, dense patterned textiles, and the staging of figures against plain grounds.
