絵本北条九代記
An 1887 Japanese woodblock-style picture book (ehon) published by Igyōkan and compiled by Kōu-tei Ōzan, illustrating figures from the Hōjō clan history for a general readership. The pictures show armoured samurai and court-robed men in tight groups, with calligraphic name labels set in the margins, and a designer could take from them the dense patterned kimono and armour textures, the spotted stippled backgrounds, and the framed panel layout with vertical captions.
