[絵本] 〔２２〕新田義貞一代記下

荒川吉五郎編 · 1882 · 荒川吉五郎 · 15 pictures

An 1882 Japanese ehon picture book compiled by Arakawa Kichigorō and published by him, presenting the life of the warrior Nitta Yoshisada in woodblock prints with kana text columns. The pictures show armoured samurai in dense, hatched armour set against brushed calligraphy, with arrows and battle scenes, giving a designer strong black-and-white patterning and a clear model for bold, texture-rich armour and text-image layouts.
