絵本太閤記 3編 巻9

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

This is a Japanese woodblock picture book, an ehon, illustrated and written by Okada Gyokuzan and published in 1879 by Ōno Ichibei and partners, presenting episodes from the life of Toyotomi Hideyoshi for a general readership. The pages show armoured warriors in tiled-roof castle buildings, wooden bridges, and tatami interiors, drawn in fine black line with dense hatching and cloud-shaped borders, offering designers a clear model for period architecture, armour patterns, and narrative panel layouts.
