画本楠公記
This is a Meiji-era Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published in 1889 by Rinkyokudo, compiled by Ōdate Toshikazu, drawing on the story of the loyal warrior Kusunoki. The woodblock-style pictures show dramatic scenes of armed men, scheming figures and wind-swept landscapes with pine branches and text columns in the margins, offering a designer strong examples of compact narrative framing, bold line hatching and the interplay of Japanese calligraphy with image.
