[絵本] 〔７〕 源為朝一代記

増田福太郎 著 · 1888 · 増田福太郎 · 12 pictures

An 1888 Japanese picture book (ehon) by Masuda Fukutaro, published by the author, presenting the life of the warrior Minamoto no Tameyoshi's son Tametomo in woodblock prints for a general readership. The pictures show armoured and robed samurai in dynamic poses, with vertical columns of Japanese text beside each figure; a designer might take the bold patterned textiles, armour lacing and tight black-and-white linework as a model for graphic patterning.
