絵本呉越軍談 ３編 ４
An 1882 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) by Ikeda Tōri, text, with illustrations by Yanagawa Shigenobu, published by Inoue Jihei, for a general readership of Meiji-era readers of military tales. Its double-page woodblock-style prints show courtly interior scenes, mounted warriors in a night battle with torches and banners, and a pair of seated figures playing a board game, with an ornamental blank frame as the last page; a designer could draw on their bold black linework, dense patterned robes and armour, and compositions that split a scene across two facing pages.
