宮本武勇伝 : 絵本実録

牧金之助 編 · 1888 · 金寿堂 · 18 pictures

An 1888 Japanese ehon picture book, Miyamoto Musashi Yūdenki: Ehon Jitsuroku, compiled by Maki Kinnosuke and published by Kinjudō in Tokyo for general readers of popular heroic tales. Its pictures are bold black-and-white woodblock-style scenes of samurai in tense confrontation, with rows of vertical Japanese text running through the frames, offering a designer strong graphic contrast, hatched patterned kimono textures, and dynamic diagonal compositions.
