[絵本] 〔３９〕耕雲斉武田軍配初編下

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 20 pictures

This is a Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published in 1885, likely for popular readers in Japan, with its text in vertical columns beside the images. Its pictures show samurai in armour and in action: warriors with swords and spears, a mounted rider under a banner, and a standard-bearer. A designer might take the bold black line work, dense hatching, and the rhythm of vertical text panels framing dynamic figures.
