[絵本] 〔２〕 加藤清正一代記

牧金之助 編 · 1890 · 牧金之助 · 2 pictures

A Japanese ehon picture book of 1890, compiled by Maki Kinnosuke and published by him in Japan, apparently for popular readers. The second image shows a warrior in black lacquered armour with a large crescent helmet ornament, drawn in bold woodblock-style black and white with Japanese text in columns beside him, a strong graphic model for high-contrast figure work. The first image is a faint, grainy sketch of a box-like structure with a helmet or lantern on top, useful mainly as an example of loose, scratchy line.
