絵本義経勲功記 後編

山本常次郎 編 · 1887 · 隆湊堂 · 18 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese woodblock-style picture book (ehon) published in 1887 by Ryūsōdō, compiled by Yamamoto Tsunejirō, presenting a sequel of illustrated scenes from the Yoshitsune legend to a general readership. The pictures show dense black-and-white figure compositions with calligraphic text columns woven around the images, offering a designer strong examples of bold contour, hatched shading, and text integrated into image layout.
