[絵本] 〔1〕 近世会津軍記 下

小林鉄次郎 編 · 1878 · 小林鉄次郎 · 20 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Kobayashi Tetsujirō and published in 1878, telling a Aizu war chronicle for a popular readership. The four woodblock-style pages show a castle sieged under smoke and flame, samurai marching with banners, and armoured warriors fighting with swords and spears, all framed by dense vertical kanji columns that a designer could borrow for panel layouts and calligraphic texture.
