絵本真田三代実記 : 校訂 初編 巻之7-10
A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) from 1883, published by Bunshasha and edited by Watanabe Yoshikata, retelling the Sanada family chronicle for a general reader. The four pages show clean black-line woodblock-style drawings with minimal shading, one with a bonsai and screen interior, one with armoured warriors charging through waves, and one with mounted samurai under pine trees and banners. A designer could take the bold outline style, the flat patterned kimono textures, and the dynamic diagonal compositions for graphic work.
