[絵本] 〔８〕朝鮮攻伐１号

永島福太郎編, 孟斎芳虎画 · 1880 · 堤吉兵衛 · 20 pictures

An 1880 Japanese ehon picture book printed by Tsutsumi Kichibei, with woodblock illustrations by Gekkei Yoshitora-style artist Mosai Yoshitora credited in the record, likely a Korean campaign history for a general reading public. The four pictures show hierarchical scenes of armoured warriors, seated courtiers and banners, with dense vertical columns of text beside the figures; a designer might take the bold black-and-white line work, strong figure silhouettes, and the framing of text blocks beside images.
