[絵本] 〔４７〕日本軍記

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 20 pictures

A Japanese woodblock ehon picture book of military chronicles, compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published in 1885 in Japan for a general readership. Its pictures show armoured samurai with horses crossing water, a warrior in full armour on a rocky shore, and figures in armour on a path beside text columns, rendered in bold black-line woodcut with small calligraphic captions. A designer might borrow the dense black-and-white contrast of the line work and the layout of picture panels alongside vertical text columns.
