岩見武勇鑑 : 絵本実録
A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Kamekichi Tsunashima and published by him in 1886, retelling a historical samurai narrative in woodblock-style prints for a general reading audience. Its pictures show swordsmen in mid-action, with dense vertical columns of Japanese text set beside the figures, arranged in frames that a designer could borrow for dynamic, compartmentalised page layouts.
