絵本豊臣勲功記 第8編 巻之3

桜沢堂山 編, 松川半山 画 · 1884 · 群玉堂[ほか] · 7 pictures

An 1884 Japanese ehon picture book from Osaka-area publisher Gyokudōdō, edited by Sakurasawa Dōzan and illustrated by Matsukawa Hanzan, made for popular readers. Its woodblock-style pages show samurai battles in armour with arrows and swords, and the crisp black-and-white linework of crowded combat scenes, flying arrows and banners could suggest dynamic action compositions, dense patterning, or historical costume detail for designers.
