絵本太閤記 3編 巻2

岡田玉山 著・画 · 1879 · 大野市兵衛等 · 15 pictures

This Japanese woodblock picture book, the third volume of a series on the life of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, was illustrated and written by Okada Gyokuzan and published in 1879 by Ōno Ichibei and associates. Its black-and-white pages show castle walls of fitted stones, pine trees, and rolling hills drawn with fine, economical line work that a designer could borrow for minimal landscape or architectural linework.
