[絵本] 〔２〕 曽我物語実記

1890 · 井上市松 · 1 picture

An 1890 Japanese picture book (ehon) published by Inoue Ichimatsu, illustrating the Soga Monogatari, a medieval tale of vendetta, for a general readership. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style scenes with a framed panel of two figures in court dress beside a sparse interior of a table with a helmet, arrows and a bundle of weapons, showing a clear pictorial vocabulary of armour, costume and interior furnishing that a designer could draw on for period-specific motifs.
