永島辰五郎編, 孟斎芳虎画 · 1881 · 宮田孝助 · 21 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese ehon picture book of 1881, edited by Nagashima Tatsugorō and illustrated by Hōsai Yoshitora, published by Miyata Kōsuke for general readers of popular heroic tales. Its woodblock-style pages show samurai in patterned kimono and armour, mostly full-length standing figures with caption columns of hand-set Japanese text running down the margins, giving designers bold silhouettes, kimono patterns and vertical type layouts to draw on.
