[絵本] 〔４７〕日本軍記

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 22 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock picture book, compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published in 1885, offering episodes from Japanese military chronicles for a general reading public. The pictures are bold black-line woodcut prints of armoured warriors in dramatic action, with vertical columns of Japanese text beside them; a designer might take their strong silhouettes, dynamic poses and high-contrast inked outlines as models for graphic action.
