絵本太閤記 初編 巻3,4
A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in Tokyo in 1882 by Tokyo Dōeki Shuppansha, written and illustrated by Okada Gyokuzan and expanded by Nakamura Yoriji, retelling the life of the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi for a general readership. Its woodblock-style line illustrations show samurai in interiors, castle walls and gardens, and battle scenes with banners, horsemen and pine trees; a designer might draw on their clean, dense black linework, compositional framing by clouds and screens, and the traditional Japanese architecture.
