編輯人不詳 · 1887 · 誾花堂 · 7 pictures

An 1887 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Gingadō, compiled by an unnamed editor, presenting heroic tales of Sasaki Ganryū and Miyamoto Musashi for a general reading public. Its woodblock-style pictures show dramatic sword combat, smoke-filled scenes and a tall grass or field, offering a designer bold black-and-white linework, cloud-like smoke shapes and dense hatched textures for strong graphic compositions.
