絵本源平盛衰記

牧金之助 著 · 1888 · 金寿堂 · 16 pictures

An 1888 Japanese picture book (ehon) by Maki Kinnosuke, published by Kinjudō, retelling the Genpei war chronicles for a general readership. Its woodblock-style black and white prints show armoured warriors in dramatic combat, a seated lord beneath patterned curtains, and a monk in snowy mountains, offering designers bold silhouettes, dense patterned armour, and strong figure-ground contrast.
