[絵本] 〔１０〕高名武者揃２

児玉弥七編 · 1884 · 大橋堂 · 29 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Kodama Yashichi and published in 1884 by Ōhashidō, likely for a general popular readership. Its pages show armored warriors in black-and-white woodblock-style line drawings, with short Japanese captions set in columns beside the figures. A designer could take from them the bold silhouettes of armor and horses, the dense hatching of water and sky, and the handling of text as a graphic element within the image.
