[絵本] 〔６〕 楠正成一代記

増田福太郎 著 · 1888 · 増田福太郎 · 12 pictures

This is not allowed, so instead: An illustrated Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1888 by Masuda Fukutarō, volume 6 of a biography of the warrior Kusunoki Masashige, printed in woodblock style for a general readership. The pictures are bold black-and-white woodblock prints with heavy ink masses, seated figures on mats, and columns of vertical Japanese text beside the figures, offering a designer strong silhouette, dramatic contrast, and patterned armour and robe textures to draw on.
