国史略 : 絵本訓蒙 巻之１０
A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) from 1874, published by Kōkeisha, with a text by Tsutsumi Masakatsu and annotations by Shigeno Yasutsugu, aimed at general readers learning national history. Its pictures are simple black-line woodcuts with compact vertical columns of kana and kanji beside each scene, showing historical figures in outdoor and palace settings. A designer could take their economical line work, open horizontal compositions and framed text panels as a reference for sparse, narrative illustration.
