絵本源平盛衰記 自巻之3至巻之4
This is a Japanese woodblock-style picture book (ehon) compiled by Akisato Rito and published in 1884 by Kakusei-sha, retelling the Genpei war chronicle for general readers. The four pictures show samurai in armour fighting in woodland and riverside settings, drawn in dense black-and-white line with strong contrast and dramatic diagonal compositions a designer could borrow for bold graphic framing, pattern, and action poses.
