[絵本] 〔２２〕今川憤戦記上

竹内栄久編, 梅堂国政画 · 1884 · 小森宗次郎 · 18 pictures

This is a Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published in 1884 by Komori Sōjirō, with text compiled by Takeuchi Eiku and pictures by Umedō Kunimasa, produced in Japan for a general readership. Its woodblock-style pages show armoured samurai in battle scenes, with kanji text set in columns beside the figures, and the bold black outlines and patterned armour could inspire dynamic, graphic compositions.
