絵本慶安太平記
An 1887 Japanese woodblock-style picture book (ehon) compiled by Nakamura Asakichi and published by him, illustrating the Keian Taiheiki tale of Edo-period samurai intrigue. The four pages show a bold-patterned samurai in a checked kimono, a figure in a striped hakama holding a sword beside a wall, a woman seated before a lattice window, and a armored warrior with a lady in an interior. Their dense black linework, hatched textures and patterned textiles offer designers strong figure-and-pattern compositions and vertical text panels.
