絵本源平盛衰記

竹内栄久 編 · 1886 · 金寿堂 · 16 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) from 1886, compiled by Takeuchi Eiku and published by Kinjudo, retelling the Genpei war chronicle for a general readership. Its woodblock-style pictures show dense crowds of armoured and robed figures, formal seated audiences, and dramatic gestures with patterned fabrics, offering a designer strong examples of bold line work, textured hatching, and compact vertical text panels.
