絵本加藤清正一代記

内藤彦一 編 · 1886 · 内藤彦一 · 10 pictures

An 1886 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) titled Ehon Kato Kiyomasa Ichidaiki, compiled by Naito Hikoichi and published by Naito himself, telling the life of the warlord Kato Kiyomasa. The pages are woodblock-printed scenes with columns of Japanese text set around the images, showing mounted warriors, armoured fighters and a dramatic waterfall. A designer might borrow the bold black-and-white ink contrast, the dense vertical text panels, and the framed comic-strip page layout.
