絵本慶安太平記
An 1886 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published by Nichiyoudou with an unnamed editor, drawing on the Keian period tale of the Taiheiki-style historical romance. The pictures are black-and-white woodcut-style scenes of samurai, a figure seated with a folded document, a sword fight among bamboo, and a woman in a round frame, with dense hatching and blank snow-like flecks. A designer might take the bold ink contrast, the hatched textures of kimono patterns, and the compact framed-vignette layouts.
