絵本真田三代実記 : 校訂 初編 巻之3-6

渡辺義方 校 · 1883 · 斯文社 · 8 pictures

This is a Japanese ehon picture book issued in Tokyo in 1883 by the Shibunsha publisher, edited by Watanabe Yoshikata and aimed at general readers of historical tales. The woodblock-style prints show samurai battles, a seated court gathering under eaves and pines, and a figure carrying a bundle beside a stream, all drawn in bold black outlines with Japanese captions in cartouches; a designer might borrow the strong line work, flat black masses, and compositional use of cropped foliage and clouds.
