岡田玉山 著・画 · 1886 · 三史堂[ほか] · 12 pictures

Ehon Taikoki, volume 8 of part four, a Japanese illustrated picture book by Okada Gyokuzan, published in 1886 by Sanshidō and associates, drawing on the life of the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The pictures are woodblock-style black-and-white battle scenes with speech balloons and dense ink linework, showing armoured warriors on bridges, horses, and mountain slopes, useful to designers seeking dynamic compositions of crowded action and period armour.
