絵本慶安太平記

1886 · 奎暉閣 · 16 pictures

An 1886 Japanese illustrated book, the Ehon Keian Taiheiki, published by Keikikaku as a picture-book telling a period story of the Keian era for a general reading public. Its pictures are black-and-white woodcut-style line illustrations of seated samurai, indoor scenes with screens and chests, and a figure in a landscape with pine trees, showing bold figure outlines and dense hatched textiles and ground patterns a designer might borrow for pattern and contour work.
