絵本太功記 4編

岳亭定岡 編 · 1886 · 山本常次郎 · 38 pictures

A Meiji-era (1886) Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) compiled by Gakutei Sadaoka and published by Yamamoto Tsunejiro, a volume of the Ehon Taikoki series drawn for general readers of popular woodblock-style print. The pages are black-and-white line illustrations with columns of Japanese text and captions beside the figures, showing armoured warriors and seated courtiers in interiors. A designer could draw on their bold hatched armour patterns, dense linework, and the way text panels are framed beside the scenes.
