[絵本] 〔６〕桶狭間大合戦下

宮田伊助編 · 1882 · 宮田伊助 · 20 pictures

An 1882 Japanese ehon picture book titled Okehazama Daikassen, part two, compiled by Miyata Isuke and published by Miyata Isuke, a woodblock-printed popular illustrated book for general readers. Its pages pair dense columns of vertical Japanese text with bold black-line woodblock scenes of armoured samurai in battle. A designer might take the strong contour linework, dense hatched armour patterns, and flat black silhouettes of rearing horses and banners as models for graphic energy and pattern.
