絵本難波戦記稚話 4編
An 1886 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) edited by Ban Genpei and published by Akashi Chūgadō, a sequel volume of a Naniwa war tale for young readers. Its woodblock-style pages show samurai in armour, a boat on a river with a mountain landscape, and a framed portrait of two warriors with labelled cartouches. A designer might take the bold black-and-white line work, the framed panel layouts and the calligraphic captions as models for vintage Japanese graphics.
