絵本太平記 10巻 乾

36 pictures

Ehon Taiheiki, a ten-volume Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) from the Edo period, illustrating the Taiheiki war chronicle with text columns beside the figures for a general readership. The pages show ink-line figures in interiors, armoured warriors, and fighting scenes with dense kana captions, offering a designer clear examples of compact Japanese narrative layout, flowing line work, and the way text and image share a page.
