絵本楠公記稚話 3編

伴源平 編 · 1885 · 忠雅堂 · 11 pictures

An 1885 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) titled Ehon Nankō-ki Chiwa vol. 3, compiled by Ban Genpei and published by Chūgadō, aimed at young readers and telling stories of the loyal samurai Kusunoki Masashige. Its woodblock-printed pages show a seated lord reading a scroll before a painted screen, a sea battle with a boat and banner, and figures conversing in an interior with paper screens and a garden beyond; a designer might take the bold black-and-white contrast, dense ink texture, and the framed panel layout with vertical Japanese captions.
