[絵本] 〔１６〕楠一代記下

永島辰五郎編 · 1882 · 小森宗次郎 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Nagashima Tatsugoro and published by Komori Soujiro in 1882, presumably for a general readership. Its woodblock-style pages show armoured warriors in combat and on horseback, with Japanese calligraphy running in columns beside the images. A designer might take the bold black-and-white armour patterning, dense hatching, and the interplay of vertical text columns with figures.
