絵本豊臣勲功記 第9編 巻之 8

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

A Meiji-era Japanese ehon picture book, Ehon Toyotomi Kunkouki volume 9, compiled by Sakurazawa Dozan and illustrated by Matsukawa Hanzan, published in 1884 by Gyokudōdō in Tokyo for general readers of popular historical tales. Its black-and-white woodblock-style prints show samurai in dramatic architectural and garden settings, with clean dense line work and vertical columns of Japanese calligraphy that a designer could use for period decorative borders or dynamic figure compositions.
