絵本真田三代記

1888 · 鈴木金輔 · 26 pictures

A Japanese woodblock-style picture book (ehon) published in 1888 by Suzuki Kinsuke, a commercial publisher, likely for a general popular readership, and it retells the Sanada family's three generations through historical figures. Its pictures are bold black-and-white line illustrations with framed panels, vertical captions in kana and kanji, and dense bamboo, tiger-painted screens and rolling sea settings, offering designers strong ink-line compositions, decorative text panels and framing borders to borrow.
