絵本慶安太平記
A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) by Sawa Kyujiro, published 1888 in Japan, with woodblock-style illustrations telling a historical story of Keian-period samurai conflicts. The pages show dramatic scenes of swordsmen, night settings, rain and fire, with Japanese text columns beside the images. A designer might take bold black-and-white hatching, dense ink shadows, and the staged compositions of figures in action.
