絵本太閤記 4編 巻1

岡田玉山 著・画 · 1886 · 三史堂[ほか] · 16 pictures

Ehon Taikōki, volume 1 of the fourth part, a Japanese woodblock-style picture book by Okada Gyokuzan, published in Japan in 1886 by Sanshidō and others for general readers of popular historical tales. Its pictures show samurai in armour fighting along rocky riverbanks and water, with castle walls and pine trees; a designer might take its bold black-line brush outlines, dense hatching for water and rock, and dramatic action poses.
