絵本楠三代記

1888 · 宮川政吉 · 17 pictures

An 1888 Japanese picture book (ehon) published by Miyagawa Masakichi, with woodblock-style line drawings of warriors in armour and short columns of text in cartouches. The pictures show samurai in lamellar armour beside a stream, on horseback with bows and arrows, and seated in a garden, a plain source for historical costume and armour motifs.
