絵本景清外伝
A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Yamamoto Tsunejirō and published in 1888 by Ryūsōdō, retelling the Kagekiyo legend in woodblock-style prints with kana and kanji captions. The two spreads show a seated warrior and attendants in a moonlit garden, then a fierce swordfight among trees and fallen men. A designer could take the bold black silhouettes, dense hatched backgrounds, and dramatic diagonal action compositions.
