森本順三郎著 · 1888 · 森本順三郎 · 16 pictures

This is a Japanese ehon picture book from 1888 by Morimoto Junsaburo, illustrating the Nansō Satomi Hakkenden story in woodblock-printed pages with columns of vertical Japanese text. The pictures show armoured warriors in dynamic poses with swords, boats, and billowing fabric, drawn in bold black outlines with patterned kimono textures a designer could borrow for kinetic compositions and framed narrative panels.
