(Ehon Yoshitsune ichidaiki. Zen., 絵本義経一代記 全).
A Meiji-era illustrated chronicle of Japan`s most legendary warrior. Published in Tokyo in 1892 by Kinjudō, Ehon Yoshitsune Ichidaiki
recounts the life of Minamoto no Yoshitsune through dramatic illustrations and short narratives.
Among the episodes depicted are Ushiwakamaru`s sword training at Mount Kurama, his legendary meeting with Benkei at Gojō Bridge, the attack at Ichi-no-Tani, scenes from the
Battle of Dan-no-Ura, the night attack on the Horikawa Palace, and the famous Ataka Barrier encounter.
