絵本二島英雄記 巻９
A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) from the Edo period, written by Hiraga Baisetsu and illustrated by Hayami Shungyosai, published by Okada Mohei, likely in Kyoto or Osaka for a general popular readership. Its pages show courtly and samurai figures in architectural interiors and gardens, drawn in crisp black line with open white ground. A designer might take its clean linear figure outlines, cloud-band borders, and layered wooden architecture as a source for compositional framing and flat graphic patterning.
