[絵本] 〔２〕 川中島軍記

牧金之助 編 · 1888 · 牧金之助 · 3 pictures

This is an 1888 Japanese picture book (ehon, volume 2) titled Kawanakajima Gunki, compiled by Maki Kinnosuke and published by Maki Kinnosuke in Japan for a general readership. Its pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style prints: two show a straw-hatted figure fishing with a long rod beside tall grasses under a round moon, while a third shows a dense battle scene of mounted samurai with swords and a dark horse, framed by bordered panels with calligraphic captions that a designer might borrow for dramatic linework and ornamental frames.
