絵本甲越軍記 前編

1882 · 小林鉄次郎 · 33 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated book (ehon) printed in 1882 by publisher Kobayashi Tetsujiro, its woodblock-style pages pair dense columns of vertical kana and kanji text with full-page scenes. The pictures show armoured warriors in battle, a figure wielding a spear on a mountain path, and pine trees framing action, giving a designer examples of bold black-line composition and how text and image share a page.
