絵本明治太平記
Ehon Meiji Taiheiki is an 1888 Japanese illustrated picture book compiled by Arakawa Tōbei and published by Kinkōdō, a historical chronicle of the Meiji period for a general reading public. Its woodblock-printed pictures show Meiji-era officials, soldiers and scenes of political confrontation, with dense inked outlines, cross-hatched dark garments, and calligraphic captions set into the image that a designer could draw on for bold black-and-white graphics.
