絵本朝鮮征伐

堤吉兵衛 編 · 1888 · 堤吉兵衛 · 11 pictures

An 1888 Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Tsutsumi Kichibei, published by Tsutsumi Kichibei, presenting the Korean campaign in woodblock-style prints with vertical columns of text. The four pictures show a commander in a ceremonial procession on a bridge, a samurai with a large black roundel and a fallen figure, a mounted warrior in patterned armour, and ships with oarsmen on a shore, all in a bold black-and-white graphic style a designer could borrow for strong silhouettes and framing.
