絵本朝鮮軍記

1886 · 伊東留吉 · 6 pictures

An 1886 Japanese woodblock-printed picture book titled Ehon Chōsen Gunki, published by Itō Tomekichi and classed among ehon illustrated books, probably intended for general readers in Meiji Japan. Its pictures are dense black-and-white line illustrations of armoured warriors on horseback, battle crowds, pine trees and interiors, with bold outlines and hatched patterns that a designer could draw on for ornamental armour, crowd textures and compositions.
