増田福太郎 著 · 1888 · 増田福太郎 · 10 pictures

This is a Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) from 1888, published by Masuda Fukutaro, showing heroic women and warriors for a general readership. The woodblock-style prints show standing and kneeling figures in patterned armour and kimono, with columns of kana verse beside them, giving a designer strong examples of decorative pattern, dense motif repetition and vertical text layout.
