[絵本] 〔５〕慶安太平記

中村浅吉編 · 1889 · 中村浅吉 · 16 pictures

An 1889 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Nakamura Asakichi and published by Nakamura himself, apparently for general popular readers, with woodblock-style prints in pages of vertical Japanese text. The pictures show costumed samurai and figures in dramatic scenes, with bold black outlines and hatched shading, offering a designer examples of compact narrative panel layouts and inked line work with calligraphic captions.
