絵本源平盛衰記
An 1883 Japanese ehon picture book, Ehon Genpei Seisuiki, compiled by Akisato Rito and published by Kakuseisha, illustrating the Genpei war chronicle for readers of the Meiji period. The pages are rotated sideways in the scan; the framed woodblock-style line prints show armoured warriors, a palace interior with tatami and shoji screens, and a richly patterned room with a seated figure. A designer might take the bold black outlines, dense hatching, and framed panel layouts as a model for graphic narrative compositions.
