絵本太閤記山崎大合戦

1888 · 精文堂 · 6 pictures

An 1888 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published by Seibundō, telling the Battle of Yamazaki from the Taikōki story for a popular readership. The pictures are rough black-and-white woodblock-style prints of samurai in armour fighting on hillsides, forests and boats, with dense hatching in the foliage and tangled figures that a designer could borrow for bold, dynamic compositions.
