[絵本] 〔６〕大坂軍記

牧金之助編 · 1885 · 牧金之助 · 22 pictures

An 1885 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon, volume 6 of a set) compiled by Maki Kinnosuke and published by Maki Kinnosuke, drawn from the Osaka war chronicle for general readers. The pages are woodblock-style panels with vertical columns of Japanese text beside armoured samurai, smoke clouds, and a figure on a wooden veranda. A designer might take the bold black line work, dense hatched armour patterns, and the swirling smoke as a compact vocabulary for dramatic battle scenes.
