絵本太功記 5編

岳亭定岡 編 · 1886 · 山本常次郎 · 38 pictures

This is a Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) from 1886, compiled by Gakutei Sadaoka and published by Yamamoto Tsunejirō, illustrating a Taiko-ki theatre-derived story in its fifth fascicle. The pictures are black-and-white line prints with kana-annotated text panels, showing armoured warriors, interior scenes and dramatic poses that suggest strong figure silhouettes, patterned textile motifs and bold ink-line composition for designers studying Japanese graphic layout.
