絵本太閤記 3編 巻8
A Meiji-era (1879) Japanese picture book, Ehon Taikōki volume 3 part 8, written and illustrated by Okada Gyokusan and published by Ōno Ichibei and others, in the traditional ehon format of woodblock-style black-and-white line pages. Its double-page scenes show interiors, palace courtyards, and crowded armed fighting on tiled roofs and stairs, with dense pine foliage and fences framing the action. A designer could draw on its clean linework, layered perspective, and tightly packed figure groups for historical Japanese compositions.
