[絵本] 〔１〕慶安太平記上

綱島亀吉編 · 1881 · 島鮮堂 · 21 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Kameki Tsunashima and published by Tosendo in 1881, printed in woodblock style for a general reading public. Its pages pair bold black-and-white figure prints of samurai and warriors with columns of vertical Japanese text, and the figures show stiff poses, layered patterned armour and kimono, and strong outlines a designer could borrow for graphic motifs.
