国史略 : 絵本訓蒙 巻之１２
This is an 1874 Japanese illustrated history primer, published in Tokyo by Kōkeisha and edited by Shigeno Yasutsugu with a translation credited to Tsutsumi Masakatsu, aimed at readers learning national history through pictures. Its woodblock-style black-and-white scenes of courtly interiors, a seated lord with attendants, and mounted warriors on open ground with pines and distant mountains offer a designer clear examples of compact figure grouping, flat planar space, and bold linework.
