国史略 : 絵本訓蒙 巻之７
A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated history primer, the seventh volume of an ehon series, translated by Tsutsumi Masakatsu and edited by Shigeno Yasutsugu, published by Kōkeisha in Tokyo in 1874 for young readers. Its woodblock prints show samurai in armour fighting on foot and horseback, and a seated court figure in an interior; a designer could take from them the bold black linework, dense hatching for armour and smoke, and compositions cropped by text panels.
