絵本岩見武勇伝
An 1887 Japanese ehon picture book, Ehon Iwami Buyūden, compiled and published by Nakamura Asakichi, with woodblock-style prints telling a heroic tale in text-and-image panels. The pictures show a samurai hero in patterned kimono, mostly in dynamic poses with swords and wooden beams, drawn in bold black outlines with dense wave and scale patterns that a designer could adapt for surface textures and motif borders.
