[絵本] 〔１〕 慶安太平記 初、２編

橋本兼次郎 著 · 1876 · 小林鉄次郎 · 56 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese ehon picture book, a woodblock-style illustrated print with columns of kana-and-kanji text, published in 1876 by Kobayashi Tetsujirō and written by Hashimoto Kenjirō. The pictures show samurai and townsmen in action, with crisp black linework, patterned kimono, and dense text blocks framing the figures, which a designer could use for bold figure-and-text layouts and dynamic pose studies.
