絵本太閤記 下
An 1886 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) by Okada Gyokuzan, published by Bunjidō, presenting a popular biography of the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi in woodblock-style line illustrations. The pictures show armoured warriors, seated figures in interiors, a woman in a patterned kimono and falling snow, with bold black outlines, scattered white flecks and framed Japanese captions that a designer could borrow for dense graphic pattern and vertical text panels.
