[絵本] 〔8〕 賎ケ岳戦記 下

永島辰五郎 編 · 1882 · 小森宗次郎 · 17 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) compiled by Nagashima Tatsugorō and published by Komori Sōjirō in 1882, retelling the Shizugatake war chronicle for a popular readership. Its pictures show armoured warriors in bold black-and-white block prints framed by columns of vertical Japanese text, offering designers strong figure silhouettes, dense patterned armour textures, and a graphic use of text blocks beside images.
