[絵本] 〔１３〕木曽義仲軍功記上

永島辰五郎編 · 1882 · 小森宗次郎 · 18 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Nagashima Tatsugorō and published by Komori Sōjirō in 1882, illustrating the military exploits of Minamoto no Yoshinaka. The pages are woodblock-printed with dense vertical columns of Japanese text beside the scenes. Its pictures show armoured warriors on horseback, close-quarters sword fighting and arrows in flight, drawn in bold black outline with strong patterned armour that a designer could borrow for dramatic linework and graphic pattern.
