[絵本] 〔８〕 源平盛衰記

牧金之助 編, 梅堂国政 画 · 1886 · 牧金之助 · 4 pictures

An 1886 Japanese ehon picture book, the eighth volume of the Genpei Jōsuiki, compiled by Maki Kinnosuke with illustrations by Umedō Kunimasa and published by Maki Kinnosuke. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style prints with bold hatched patterns, clothing textures and kanji captions set in panels. A designer might draw on their dense graphic pattern work, dramatic night silhouettes and lively figure poses for historical or heroic narrative layouts.
