[絵本] 〔１４〕平清盛一代記下

永島辰五郎編 · 1882 · 小森宗次郎 · 18 pictures

A late Meiji ehon picture book, the second volume of a life of Taira no Kiyomori, compiled by Nagashima Tatsugorō and published in 1882 by Komori Sōjirō in Japan for general readers. Its woodblock-style pages show seated courtly and warrior figures in patterned robes, framed by dense columns of Japanese text, offering a designer a dense model for combining figurative images with vertical type and decorative textile patterns.
