永島福太郎編, 孟斎芳虎画 · 1880 · 堤吉兵衛 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published in 1880 by Tsutsumi Kichibei, with text compiled by Nagashima Fukutarō and woodblock-style pictures by Hōsai Yoshitora, depicting warriors in armour and mounted battle scenes for a general readership. The pictures show bold black-and-white ink outlines with dense armour patterning, horses and banners, and surrounding columns of Japanese text, offering a designer strong graphic contrast, dynamic diagonal composition, and decorative pattern ideas drawn from samurai armour.
