絵本加藤清正一代記
A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Maki Kinnosuke and published in 1887 by Kinjudo, telling the life story of the warlord Kato Kiyomasa in woodblock-style prints. The four pictures show armoured samurai in close combat, with title cartouches and Japanese captions set within decorative borders. A designer could take the bold black-and-white hatching, dense armour patterning, and dynamic battle compositions as reference for action-heavy graphic work.
