[絵本] 〔５〕義経一代記

増田福太郎著 · 1888 · 増田福太郎 · 16 pictures

An 1888 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon, volume 5) titled Yoshitsune's Life, written and published by Masuda Fukutaro for a general readership. The woodblock-style pictures show armoured warriors and staves in small framed panels, with columns of hiragana text beside each figure. A designer could take from them the bold line work, patterned armour textures, and compact panel layouts of Meiji-era popular print.
