[絵本] 〔10〕 高名武者揃 1

児玉弥七 編 · 1884 · 大橋堂 · 29 pictures

A Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Kodama Yahichi and published by Ōhashidō in 1884, presenting famous warriors in woodblock-style prints. The pictures show armoured samurai in dynamic battle poses, with a designer taking away their bold black-and-white hatching, rigid armour patterning, and strong diagonal compositions, and the calligraphic captions set beside the figures.
