[絵本] 〔1〕 実録川中島軍記

1890 · 井上市松 · 1 picture

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1890 by Inoue Ichimatsu, retelling the Kawanakajima battle chronicle for a general reading public. The single woodblock-style print shows armoured samurai in a dense, hatched composition with a column of vertical kanji text beside them, suggesting how a designer might pair compact figure groups with framing text blocks and bold black linework.
