絵本頼朝奥洲軍記
An 1888 Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Yamamoto Tsunejirō and published by Ryūkōdō, retelling the military chronicle of Minamoto no Yoritomo and his campaigns. The woodblock-style pages show armoured warriors in battle and tense court or domestic scenes, with decorative borders and columns of vertical Japanese text. A designer might take the dense, high-contrast black-and-white linework, the framed panel layouts, and the stylised armour and banner patterns as models for historical graphics.
