[絵本] 〔６〕 加藤清正武勇伝

1890 · 井上市松 · 3 pictures

An 1890 Japanese ehon picture book, volume 6 of a series on the warrior Kato Kiyomasa, published by Inoue Ichimatsu for a general readership. Its pictures are monochrome woodblock-style prints: a page of oval portraits of samurai with name labels in a grid, a pattern of yin-yang roundels framed by text boxes, and a helmet resting on a small lacquered table. A designer might take the framed-medallion grid and the bold black-and-white line work.
