[絵本] 〔３９〕耕雲斉武田軍配３編上

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 20 pictures

A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published in 1885, likely for a general readership seeking popular accounts of warriors and battles. Its pages pair black-line woodblock scenes of armoured samurai, mountain landscapes and river crossings with dense columns of kana text set in irregular blocks. A designer might take its bold, economical ink line, the mixed image-and-text page layouts, and the rough, vigorous energy of the armoured figures.
