岩見武勇伝 : 絵本実録

1890 · 辻本九兵衛 · 6 pictures

An 1890 Japanese ehon picture book, the Iwami Buyūden illustrated true-tale collection, published by Tsujimoto Kyūbei for general readers. Its woodblock-style pages show samurai combat in a forest, a seated figure in a shoji-screened room, and a warrior kneeling in a tatami interior. Designers can take from them the bold black-and-white line work, dense hatched textures, and patterned kimono and screen surfaces.
