絵本石山軍記

1886 · 中村芳松 · 19 pictures

A Japanese woodblock-style picture book (ehon) published in 1886 by Nakamura Yoshimatsu, likely for a general readership of popular historical tales. Its pictures are black-and-white line illustrations of armoured warriors, palace interiors and patterned robes, with calligraphic captions set in vertical panels; a designer might borrow the bold contour line, dense patterning and framed caption boxes.
