[絵本] 〔１〕近世会津軍記上

小林鉄次郎編 · 1878 · 小林鉄次郎 · 21 pictures

This is a Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) compiled by Kobayashi Tetsujirō and published in 1878, presumably in Japan, illustrating the military chronicle of the Aizu domain. The pictures show dense, energetic battle scenes with flags, spears and armoured warriors, drawn in bold black ink outlines with text columns set beside them, offering a designer strong examples of dynamic crowd composition and calligraphic line weight.
