[絵本] 〔１３〕将門軍記下

沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 20 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Sawa Kyujiro and published in 1887, presenting a war chronicle of Taira no Masakado in woodblock-printed pages with vertical Japanese text columns. The pictures show armoured samurai in battle, with dramatic action, sword fights, and horsemen, and a designer might take from them the dynamic, tightly packed compositions where bold black-and-white figures are set against blank space and text blocks.
