岩見武勇伝 : 絵本実録

1887 · 文泉堂 · 17 pictures

A Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published in 1887 by Bunsendo, retelling heroic deeds in woodblock-style line drawings for a general readership. The pictures show armoured warriors in combat, a figure in a patterned robe on a veranda, a man beside a tree on a riverbank, and a mountain scene with a figure carrying a load. A designer might take the dense hatched linework, the stylised rocks and foliage, and the bold figure poses as models for period-style graphics.
