絵本呉越軍談 : 補正
A Japanese woodblock-style picture book (ehon) by Ikeda Tōri, published by Kakusei-sha in 1885, presumably for general readers of illustrated military tales. The pictures are black-and-white line prints of seated courtly and military figures in layered robes and armour, set in interiors with tiled floors, screens and banners, with calligraphic captions in vertical columns; a designer might take from them the dense hatched patterning of textiles and the clean contour line of East Asian narrative prints.
