繪本琉球軍記 後編巻2

宮田南北 編次, 松川半山 補正 · 8 pictures

An 1860s-era Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) in its later volume, compiled by Miyata Nanboku and revised by Matsukawa Hanzan, with pages showing armored warriors in battle; the pictures are rough pen-and-ink studies with few finished details, showing how a designer might work from loose draft compositions. The sketches show dynamic poses, lashing lines, and sweeping action that could inform energetic compositions.
