絵本賤ケ岳合戦
An 1887 Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Ikeda Tōen and published by him, illustrating the Battle of Shizugatake, a late sixteenth-century clash between warlords in Japan. Its pages show armoured samurai on horseback in woodblock-printed scenes framed by columns of vertical Japanese text. A designer might take from them the bold black-and-white line work, dynamic poses of mounted warriors, and the way text and image share a single rectangular panel.
