絵本弁慶一代記
An illustrated Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Nakamura Asakichi and published by him in 1887, telling the life story of the warrior monk Benkei in a series of woodblock-style scenes. The pictures show stylised figures in armour and robes, with dense vertical columns of Japanese text beside each scene, offering a designer a clear model for narrative panel layouts and the integration of text and image.
