竹内栄久編, 梅堂国政画 · 1884 · 小森宗次郎 · 20 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1884 by Komori Sōjirō, with text compiled by Takeuchi Eiku and illustrations by Umedō Kunimasa, retelling the Battle of Sekigahara for a general reading public. The woodblock-style pages mix dense columns of kana text with bold armoured figures, boats, and flames, offering designers strong examples of dynamic warrior poses, dense text-and-image layouts, and bold black-line graphic composition.
