絵本豊臣勲功記 第8編 巻之8

桜沢堂山 編, 松川半山 画 · 1884 · 群玉堂[ほか] · 4 pictures

An 1884 Japanese ehon picture book, Ehon Toyotomi kunkōki volume 8, compiled by Sakurazawa Dōzan and illustrated by Matsukawa Hanzan and published by Gyokudōdō, made for general readers of woodblock-printed historical narratives. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style line engravings with dense hatching for rock and water, mounted warriors, and a blank cartouche of columned text framed by gourd vines, showing how a designer can use the hatched cliffs, waterfalls and crowded battle scenes for dramatic landscape or action backgrounds.
