Chaps. 4, 5 of Legends of the Dog Warriors (Hakkenden) : [volume 2]
This is a Japanese woodblock-printed illustrated fiction volume, the second of a series, produced by the artist Utagawa Yoshimune in 1860 for a general readership, with pages of columned text alongside full-width scenes. The pictures show costumed figures in landscapes, interiors and battles drawn with confident black linework and grey wash, offering a designer ready examples of dynamic figure placement, flowing smoke and wind, and the way text blocks and images share a page.
