1887 · 偉業館 · 13 pictures

An 1887 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published by Igyōkan, telling the story of the warrior Kusunoki Masashige in woodblock-printed pages for a general readership. The pictures are bold black-and-white line prints showing samurai in armour, rain-streaked battlefields, and figures in court and garden settings, with dense hatching and strong silhouettes a designer could borrow for graphic work on heroic or historical themes.
