絵本鹿児島戦争記
An 1877 Japanese ehon picture book, Ehon Kagoshima Sensōki, compiled by Shinoda Senka and published by Yamamura Kinsaburō, recounting the Satsuma Rebellion of 1877 in woodblock-printed black-and-white illustrations. The pictures show armed samurai in flowing robes, spears and swords in dynamic poses, and horsemen in combat, drawn with bold, economical line work that a designer could borrow for dramatic action compositions, ink-brush energy, and vertical kanji captions set beside the figures.
