仮名垣魯文 (猫々道人) 編 · 1880 · 金松堂 · 16 pictures

An 1880 Japanese ehon picture book compiled by Kanagaki Robun (under the name Byōbyō Dōjin) and published by Kinmatsudō, with woodblock-printed illustrations of contemporary events set beside columns of Japanese text. The four pictures show hillside battle scenes with clustered soldiers, flags, and smoke bursts, drawn in bold black ink lines on plain paper, offering a designer strong examples of dense crowd staging and graphic smoke shapes.
