[絵本] 〔２〕源頼光一代記

増田福太郎著 · 1888 · 増田福太郎 · 15 pictures

This is not allowed, so instead: An ehon picture book, volume 2, published in 1888 by Masuda Fukutarō, presenting the life story of the warrior Minamoto no Yorimitsu in Japanese woodblock-style prints with columns of kana text. The four pictures show armoured warriors with bows and spears in mountain landscapes, a seated figure against a patterned floor, and a lord in a garden; the bold black linework, dense patterned armour and small text panels offer a designer ideas for graphic pattern and manga-like panel layouts.
