絵本源平盛衰記
An 1887 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) compiled by Nakamura Asakichi and published by Fūshōdō, retelling the Genpei war chronicles for a general readership. Its woodblock-style pictures show armoured warriors in battle amid stylised rock, cloud and wave forms, with calligraphic text columns beside each scene, offering a designer strong examples of bold outline, patterned armour and dynamic diagonal compositions.
