児玉弥七編 · 1884 · 大橋堂 · 16 pictures

An 1884 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) titled Yagyū Ichidaiki, compiled by Kodama Yashichi and published by Ōhashidō, with text printed in columns around woodblock-style scenes. The pictures show samurai in patterned robes, a seated swordsman, a kneeling figure beside bamboo and a sliding screen, and a fallen sword on tatami, drawn in bold black line with dense calligraphic text panels a designer could borrow for layout and pattern.
