[絵本] 〔３〕宮本二刀伝上

宮田伊助編 · 1882 · 宮田伊助 · 20 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Miyata Isuke and published by Miyata Isuke in 1882, its woodblock-style pages pairing swordsmen figures with dense columns of Japanese text. The pictures show samurai in patterned kimono and hakama, one with a long sword and another wielding a spear against a rocky ground, giving a designer strong examples of dynamic action poses and patterned textile motifs.
