絵本慶安太平記
A Japanese picture book (ehon) titled Ehon Keian Taiheiki, published in 1888 by Nakagawa Kansuke, with woodblock-style illustrations of samurai in dramatic action. The pictures show a swordsman in striped and patterned robes against stylised clouds, rain and trees, and a sword-wielding figure on a wooden walkway, with bold black outlines and strong contrast a designer could borrow for dramatic ink-style compositions.
