絵本源平盛衰記 自巻之5至巻之6
A Japanese ehon picture book, Ehon Genpei Seisuiki volumes 5 and 6, edited by Akisato Ritō and published by Kakusei-sha in 1884, printed in Japan as a woodblock-style illustrated book of warrior tales. Its pages are reproduced sideways in these scans, with vertical columns of Japanese text beside framed scenes of battle, landscape and mounted figures, offering a designer dense black-line compositions, framed panels and rhythmic hatching to draw on.
