[絵本] 〔３５〕英雄力競上

沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 18 pictures

This Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) was compiled and published by Sawa Hisajirō in 1887, printed in Tokyo for a popular readership. Its woodblock-style pages pair a single warrior figure with dense columns of vertical Japanese text. A designer might take the bold black ink outlines, patterned armour textures, and dramatic diagonal poses as a model for graphic energy and layout.
