[絵本] 〔2〕 賎ケ岳七本鎗銘々伝 2号

永島辰五郎 編 · 1881 · 長谷川忠兵衛 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-period Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Nagashima Tatsugoro and published in 1881 by Hasegawa Chubee, likely for a general readership of popular history enthusiasts. Its woodblock-style pages show standing warriors in ornate lacquered armour with full-length portraits, captions in columns of kana and kanji, and dense patterned lamellar and lacing details that a designer could draw on for graphic ornament, pattern repeats, or historical costume reference.
