[絵本] 〔６〕 加藤清正一代記

牧金之助 編 · 1888 · 牧金之助 · 1 picture

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Maki Kinnosuke and published in 1888, telling the life of the warlord Kato Kiyomasa in woodblock-printed pages for a general readership. The one picture shows a lacquered armour chest topped with a helmet with tall crest, a round crest medallion above, a folded sash and a sword at the lower left, drawn in fine black outline with flat unshaded areas that a designer could borrow for bold silhouette and graphic icon work.
