絵本二島英雄記 巻５
An Edo-period Japanese picture book (ehon) written by Heiga Baisetsu and illustrated by Hayami Shungyosai, published by Okada Mohei, presented as a woodblock-printed narrative for general readers. The pages show multi-panel scenes of seated courtiers and warriors on verandas and in gardens, with architectural screens, rocks and trees. A designer could draw on the compact panel layouts, the crowded group poses and the ink-line detail of traditional Japanese architecture and gardens.
