[絵本] 〔5〕 頼光一代記

森本順三郎 著 · 1888 · 森本順三郎 · 16 pictures

An 1888 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon, volume 5) titled Raikō Ichidai-ki, published by Morimoto Junzaburō, presumably for popular readers in Japan. Its woodblock-style pages show armoured warriors, a monstrous creature among tall grasses, and interior scenes with text panels in the upper areas; the dense hatching and bold black outlines suggest strong graphic patterning a designer could adapt for pattern or line work.
