絵本二島英雄記 巻３
This is a Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) from the Edo period, published by Okada Mohei, with text by Hiraga Baisetsu and illustrations attributed to Hayami Shungyosai, printed as woodblock pages in black ink. The pictures show swordfights among armoured warriors, courtly interiors with figures in a veranda and garden, and a robed figure beside a rocky, pine-lined cliff, with bold outlines and open white space that a designer could take as a model for compact figure groupings and layered landscape depth.
