絵本天草軍記
An 1887 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) edited by Nakamura Asakichi and published by him, presenting the Amakusa Rebellion as a woodblock-printed narrative with text columns beside the scenes. The pictures show armoured samurai in dynamic poses, flowing hair, ghostly figures and tents, drawn in bold black outlines with dense hatching and calligraphic captions that a designer could borrow for graphic energy and vintage Japanese print styling.
