仮名垣魯文 (猫々道人) 編 · 1880 · 金松堂 · 15 pictures

An 1880 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Kanagaki Robun under the name Byōbyō Dōjin and published by Kinmatsudō, showing Japanese woodblock-style scenes. The pictures show mounted and marching soldiers in dark uniforms with packs and rifles, drawn in bold black ink outlines beside columns of kana text, offering a designer strong graphic contrast between dense calligraphic blocks and simple figure silhouettes.
