絵本楠公記

1886 · 競争館 · 37 pictures

An 1886 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published by Kyōsōkan, a picture-book account of the warrior Kusunoki Masashige and his age. Its woodblock-style prints show armoured samurai, courtly figures in robes, and rain-swept scenes, with Japanese captions set in vertical columns beside the images. A designer might take its dense hatched linework, strong black outlines, and the framing of figures against blank panels with text strips.
