絵本楠公記 10巻 [5]

山田得翁斎作, 速水春暁斎画 · 1800 · 田中吉兵衛[ほか6名] · 37 pictures

This Japanese illustrated book, an ehon picture book issued in Edo-period Japan in 1800, was written by Yamada Tokuōsai and illustrated by Hayami Shunkyōsai for a popular readership. Its woodblock prints show pine-clad hills, pagoda-roofed buildings, boats and figures in armour set in open landscape, with clean outline and sparse grey-green wash that a designer could draw on for layout, framing and restrained historical detail.
