絵本為朝一代記
An 1889 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published by Kinjudō, with text compiled by Maki Kinnosuke and pictures by Umedō Kunimasa, telling the life story of the warrior Tametomo. The woodblock-style pictures show dramatic combat, a courtly interior, and a supernatural bird-like creature, with bold black silhouettes, patterned kimono textiles, and dense Japanese calligraphy that a designer could borrow for graphic bands, motifs and framing.
