絵本甲越軍記
An 1887 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) edited by Yamamoto Tsunejiro and published by Endo Heisaemon, presenting a warrior chronicle of the Kai and Echigo rivalry through woodblock-style prints. The pictures show armoured samurai in dense, swirling clouds and dark ground with bold black-and-white hatching, and a designer might draw on their strong graphic contrast, patterned armour textures and dynamic diagonal compositions, with the printed columns of Japanese text beside the figures.
