[絵本] 〔７〕和田合戦朝比奈一代記下

永島辰五郎編 · 1882 · 小森宗次郎 · 17 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1882 by Komori Sōjirō, compiled by Nagashima Tatsugorō, with woodblock illustrations for a general readership. The pictures show armoured samurai in combat on horseback and on foot, with dense, finely hatched lacquered armour and flowing battle lines that a designer could draw on for patterned textures, layout of action scenes, and the framing of text beside image.
