日清戦争絵本勝利歌

1894 · 由盛閣 · 18 pictures

A Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1894 by Yoshimori-kaku during the Sino-Japanese War, aimed at a general readership of children and adults. Its woodblock-style prints show soldiers in dense smoke and gunfire, with captioned text columns beside the scenes. A designer might take the bold black-and-white hatching, the clouds of smoke as framing shapes, and the dynamic diagonal action.
