絵本太功記 初編
This is a Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) compiled by Gataku Sadaoka and published in 1886 by Yamamoto Tsunejiro, drawn from the Taiko-ki story of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's rise and a vengeful son's betrayal. Its pictures are bold black-line figure scenes with kanji captions set in vertical columns, showing armoured warriors, richly patterned kimono, and interior and garden settings that a designer could use for strong graphic outlines, pattern repeats, and text-image layouts.
