絵本太閤記 上
An 1886 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) by Okada Gyokuzan, published by Seibunsha, retelling the life of the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi in woodblock-style prints. The pictures are bold black-and-white line drawings of armoured samurai in battle and sudden action, with patterned robes, falling petals or dust, and scrolling cloud and wave borders that a designer could borrow for graphic motifs and ukiyo-e style compositions.
