[絵本] 〔３〕関ケ原東西軍記中

竹柴金作 (琴作) 編, 梅堂国政画 · 1881 · 栄久堂 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) titled 関ケ原東西軍記 (Sekigahara Tozai Gunki), compiled by Takeshiba Kinsaku and illustrated by Umedo Kunimasa, published in 1881 by Eikyudo for a general popular readership. Its pages pair dense columns of Japanese text with bold woodblock-style figures in patterned kimono, samurai and court women, and a designer might take from them the strong black-and-white line work, dense textile patterning and vigorous text-image layouts.
