[絵本] 〔１６〕楠一代記上

永島辰五郎編 · 1882 · 小森宗次郎 · 16 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Nagashima Tatsugoro and published in 1882 by Komori Sojiro, illustrating the life of the warrior Kusunoki Masashige for a general readership. Its woodblock-printed pages show armoured samurai in dense, crowded combat scenes, with Japanese text columns running alongside the images and offering a designer dense hatched patterning, figure grouping, and strong black-and-white contrast.
