絵本甲越軍記
An 1888 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) compiled by Tsutsumi Kichibei, published by the same, presenting a military chronicle of the Kai and Echigo warlords in woodblock-style black-and-white pictures with columns of text. The pictures show dramatic battle scenes in a loose, high-contrast graphic style that a designer could draw on for bold silhouettes, dense black masses set against open white forms, and calligraphic text panels framing the images.
