絵本真田三代記

牧金之助 編 · 1887 · 金寿堂 · 3 pictures

Meiji-era Japanese woodblock-style picture book (ehon) compiled by Maki Kinnosuke and published by Kinjudo in 1887, telling the Sanada family's chronicle through narrative scenes. The pictures show a seated lord in a formal room, a battle on rough water with banners and fleeing soldiers, and two swordsmen in a garden with a stone lantern, with bold black-and-white hatching, dense wave patterns, and inset text panels a designer could borrow for dramatic composition and period typography.
