絵本真田三代記 初編

柳水亭種清 編 · 1882 · 小林鉄次郎 · 64 pictures

An 1882 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) titled Ehon Sanada Sandaiki, first volume, compiled by Ryusuitei Tanekiyo and published by Kobayashi Tetsujiro, a popular narrative for general readers. Its woodblock-style pages show armoured warriors in combat and mounted battle scenes set among dense columns of vertical Japanese text, with bold black linework and hatched ground and sky, offering a designer strong ideas for dynamic action composition and text-image layout.
