絵本太閤記 3編 巻6

岡田玉山 著・画 · 1879 · 大野市兵衛等 · 12 pictures

This Japanese woodblock picture book, the sixth volume of the third part of the Ehon Taikōki, was written and illustrated by Okada Gyokuzan and published in 1879 by Ōno Ichibei and associates in Japan. Its double-page spreads show armoured warriors fighting in palace courtyards, courtiers in ornate pavilions beneath flowering trees, and crowds gathered before tiled roofs, drawn in crisp black line with bold cloud and plum-crest motifs that suggest strong graphic framing and flat, decorative composition for designers.
