[絵本] 〔12〕 源三位頼政軍功記 下

永島辰五郎 編 · 1882 · 小森宗次郎 · 17 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) compiled by Nagashima Tatsugorō and published in 1882 by Komori Sōjirō, likely for a general popular readership. Its pictures show armoured warriors in dense black-and-white line work, with the text in columns beside the figures, and a designer might take from them the bold patterning of lacquered armour lamellae, arrows arcing across the page, and the compact layout of image and text.
