日本歴史図会 第４輯
A Japanese illustrated history volume, the fourth installment (第４輯) of 日本歴史図会, compiled by Furuya Tomoyoshi and published by Kokumin Tosho in 1921 as an ehon picture book for general readers. The four pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style prints of samurai battle scenes, a figure on a veranda, and a mountain road journey, drawn with bold outlines, dense cloud motifs, and dramatic armour detail that a designer could draw on for graphic patterns and historical costume.
