絵本義経一代記

内藤彦一 編 · 1886 · 内藤彦一 · 31 pictures

An 1886 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) edited by Naitō Hikoichi and published by him, telling the life story of Minamoto no Yoshitsune in woodblock-printed pages with kana and kanji text. The pictures show samurai in armour and robes, rendered in bold black-and-white line with patterned kimono textures and short captions, offering a designer strong examples of dense graphic framing, patterned fabric and compact narrative page layout.
