[絵本] 〔１３〕将門軍記上

沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 19 pictures

A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) compiled by Sawa Kyūjirō and published by him in 1887, illustrating the warrior chronicle of Masakado, aimed at popular readers. The four pictures are black-and-white woodcut scenes of armoured samurai in battle, on horseback, and in a palace court, with vertical Japanese text columns beside them; a designer could take their bold hatched armour patterns and dynamic poses.
