絵本太閤記 下
An 1886 Japanese woodblock-style picture book, the second volume of the Ehon Taikōki, written and illustrated by Okada Gyokuzan and published by Seibunsha for a general readership. Its black-and-white line illustrations show armoured warriors in battle and seated commanders in tiled interiors, with vertical columns of kanji captions framed in the margins; a designer could borrow their bold hatched armour patterns, dense ink-line crowding, and the scattered diamond-shaped motifs.
