[絵本] 〔１〕 義経一代記

牧金之助 編 · 1885 · 深川屋豊 · 6 pictures

An 1885 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) titled Yoshitsune's Life, compiled by Maki Kinnosuke and published by Fukagawaya Toyo in Tokyo for a general reading public. Its woodblock-style pages show a warrior hero in armour on horseback, a seated samurai with a long-handled weapon, and a dramatic battle scene with billowing smoke and figures on a boat, with dense vertical Japanese text panels framing the action and offering a bold, graphic model for combat scenes, armour patterns, and panel-based narrative layout.
