絵本二島英雄記 巻１０
This is a Japanese picture book (ehon) from the Edo period, volume 10, written by Hiraga Baisetsu and illustrated by Hayami Shungyosai, published by Okada Mohei. The record gives no place or date, so the scans show the book's own pages. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock line drawings of interior scenes, garden views and swordfights, with columns of Japanese text beside them; a designer might take their clean ink line, open spatial layering through screens and verandas, and dynamic diagonal composition of the fight scene.
