[絵本] 〔6〕 和漢名将鑑

大西庄之助 編 · 1885 · 松延堂 · 20 pictures

An 1885 Japanese ehon picture book, Wakan meishōkan volume 6, compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published by Shōyōdō, presenting famous warriors from Japan and China in woodblock prints. The pictures show seated and standing armoured figures with calligraphic columns of text beside them, drawn in bold black outlines with patterned robes and crisp hatching, useful for designers seeking strong graphic silhouettes, dense surface pattern, and integrated text-and-image layouts.
