[絵本] 〔7〕 真田三代記 後下

荒川吉五郎 編 · 1882 · 荒川吉五郎 · 18 pictures

A Meiji-era 1882 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Arakawa Kichigoro, a woodblock-printed volume with dense columns of kana text beside its images. Its pictures show armoured samurai warriors in battle, a monk fleeing across a wooden floor, and a dramatic burst of arrows and smoke, offering a designer strong examples of bold black-and-white line work and dynamic crowd composition.
