絵本明治太平記
An 1888 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) titled Ehon Meiji Taiheiki, compiled by Kōusentei Ōzan and published by Igyōkan, aimed at general readers of the Meiji period. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style prints with bold, dense line work showing swordsmen in motion, crowded interiors, and smoke-filled outdoor action; a designer might take their strong figure silhouettes, dynamic diagonal compositions, and high-contrast ink hatching as reference for dramatic graphic layouts.
