絵本太閤記賤ケ岳七本槍

永島春暁 編 · 1887 · 銀花堂 · 5 pictures

An 1887 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) compiled by Nagashima Shungyō and published by Ginkadō, retelling the Shizugatake battle of the Seven Spears for a popular readership. Its pictures are rotated on the scan and show armoured warriors in combat and in portrait poses, with crisp outlines, dense hatching, and strong dark-light contrast that a designer could draw on for bold figure compositions.
