絵本朝鮮征伐記 下

山本常次郎 編 · 1887 · 隆港堂 · 11 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) of 1887 published by Ryūkōdō, compiled by Yamamoto Tsunejirō, that recounts the Korean campaigns of the late sixteenth century in woodblock-style line illustrations with columns of Japanese text. Its pictures show armoured warriors on horseback, naval battle scenes with surging waves and ships, and a figure seated in a interior beside a text panel, offering a designer strong black-and-white linework, dense hatching for water and armour, and compositions that frame narrative action around captioned text.
