絵本真田三代記
An 1887 Japanese ehon picture book, the Ehon Sanada Sandaiki, compiled by Ikeda Tōen and published by Ikeda himself, a late-Meiji woodblock-printed retelling of the Sanada family's war history. Its four pages show armoured samurai, a figure in a hooded robe, and a seated monk, each framed by columns of Japanese text, with bold black linework and hatched patterned textiles a designer could borrow for dense graphic layouts.
