[絵本] 〔４〕近世伏見戦争

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 18 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published in 1885, presenting the recent Fushimi battle of the early 1868 Boshin war to a general readership through woodblock illustrations with columns of text. The pictures show combat scenes with swordsmen, mounted warriors and armoured figures, drawn in bold black outline with minimal shading, a strong graphic model for designers wanting dynamic action poses, dense text-image layouts and bold ink linework.
