[絵本] 〔39〕 耕雲斉武田軍配 2編下

大西庄之助 編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 18 pictures

This is a Japanese picture book (ehon) issued in 1885 by the publisher Daisho Onishi, edited by Shonosuke Onishi, for popular readers. Its woodblock-style pages show armoured samurai warriors in battle scenes, with dense Japanese text set in columns beside the figures. A designer could take the bold, high-contrast black line work, the patterned armour textures, and the dynamic diagonal compositions of mounted and fighting figures.
