岩見武勇伝 : 絵本実録

1886 · 三好守雄 · 20 pictures

An 1886 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Miyoshi Morio, retelling a chronicle of martial exploits in woodblock-style black-and-white line art. The pictures show samurai and townspeople in outdoor and indoor scenes, with dense hatching and patterned armour that a designer could draw on for strong graphic texture and bold figure silhouettes.
