国史略 : 絵本訓蒙 巻之９
A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated history primer, Kokushiryaku Ehon Kinmō volume nine, published in 1874 by Kōkeisha in Tokyo and translated by Tsutsumi Masakatsu with annotation by Shigeno Yasutsugu, for young readers learning national history. Its woodblock-style line drawings show samurai in armour, a courtly figure on a veranda, and mounted warriors fleeing across a field, with dense calligraphic captions set beside each scene; a designer could draw on the flowing wave and cloud patterns, the bold black-and-white line work, and the compact framing of text beside image.
