絵本朝鮮征伐記 上

山本常次郎 編 · 1887 · 隆港堂 · 22 pictures

An 1887 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) titled Ehon Chōsen Seibatsuki, Volume 1, compiled by Yamamoto Tsunejirō and published by Ryūkōdō, recounting the Japanese invasion of Korea in woodblock-style prints with columns of text. Its pictures show armoured samurai commanders on horseback, banners, and fierce close combat, with dense hatched ink patterns a designer could draw on for bold, high-contrast graphic work.
