絵本楠公記

覚張栄三郎 編 · 1886 · 上田屋 · 7 pictures

An 1886 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Kakuhari Eizaburō and published by Uedaya, retelling the life of the samurai loyalist Kusunoki Masashige for a general readership. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style line prints of armoured warriors, a seated court figure, and a dramatic night scene, offering a designer strong examples of bold ink contour, dense hatching, and patterned fabric and armour textures.
