[絵本] 〔１８〕本能寺合戦下

竹内栄久編, 梅堂国政画 · 1884 · 小森宗次郎 · 15 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) edited by Takeuchi Eiku and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, published in 1884 by Komori Sōjirō, offering popular woodblock-style scenes of samurai combat for general readers. The four pictures show armoured warriors in mid-action with swords drawn, pine branches and a dense ground of text columns in the margins. A designer might take the bold hatched armour patterns, the energetic diagonal sword poses, and the interplay of hand-lettered Japanese text with figures.
