池田東園 編 · 1887 · 池田東園 · 9 pictures

An 1887 Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Ikeda Tōen and published by him, telling the legends of three generations of the Kusunoki family in woodblock-printed pages with running kana-and-kanji text. The pages show samurai armour, massed foot soldiers and a castle wall, and a designer could draw on their dense, hatched linework and the way text blocks are set beside the images.
