This is a Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1881 by Tsujioka Bunsuke, recounting the life of the samurai Kusunoki Masashige in woodblock-printed pages with columns of kana text. The pictures show seated and reclining courtly figures in patterned robes, with pine branches, a torii-like gateway, and blocks of vertical text beside them, offering a designer examples of dense, print-based narrative layout and patterned textile motifs.
