絵本真田三代実記 : 校訂 初編 巻之11-16
This Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) of 1883, published by Bunshasha and edited by Watanabe Yoshikata, retells the Sanada family chronicle in woodblock-printed pages with vertical Japanese captions. The pictures are dense black-and-white line scenes of armoured warriors in battle among pines, rocks, and flags, showing how a designer can use crowded figure groupings, flag banners, and calligraphic caption blocks as a dynamic graphic pattern.
