[絵本] 〔１〕 義経一代記

綱島亀吉 編 · 1887 · 綱島亀吉 · 10 pictures

An 1887 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled and published by Tsunashima Kamekichi, recounting the life of the warrior Minamoto no Yoshitsune in black-and-white woodblock-style prints with Japanese text columns. The scenes show samurai and figures in robes against stylised interiors and carry a designer's eye for bold ink silhouettes, calligraphic text panels and dramatic framing.
