絵本明治戦争記
An 1888 Japanese woodblock-style picture book (ehon) by Maki Kinnosuke, published by the author, recounting the Meiji-era wars for a general readership. The three plates show mounted and foot samurai carrying a banner with Chinese-style characters across a snowy field, a line of soldiers with a round-crested flag by a coastal shore, and a seated prisoner beside a swordsman with onlookers below. Designers can draw on the bold black-and-white hatching, the dense cross-hatched rock and snow textures, and the strong vertical columns of inscribed text at the plate edges.
