池田東園 編 · 1887 · 池田東園 · 5 pictures

An 1887 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) edited by Ikeda Tōen and published by him, retelling episodes of the Osaka campaigns in a woodblock-printed format with text columns beside the figures. The pictures show armoured samurai in combat and conversation, a figure with a crescent moon and bow, and two women at a seated gathering against a wave-pattern backdrop; a designer might take the dense text-and-image layout and the seigaiha wave pattern as references for mixed picture-text pages.
