絵本加藤一代記
This is a Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Naito Hikoichi and published by Yasukawa Matashichi in 1887, a popular illustrated biography of the warrior Kato Kiyomasa for general readers. Its woodblock-style pictures show armoured samurai in dynamic battle poses, with bold black-and-white line work, dense vertical kana text columns set beside the scenes, and cropped compositions that a designer might borrow for strong figure-ground contrast and graphic text-image layouts.
