[絵本] 〔２〕 太閤記

大西庄之助 編 · 1885 · 松延堂 · 7 pictures

An 1885 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) titled Taikōki, volume two, compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published by Shōyōdō, presenting episodes from the life of the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi for a general reading public. The woodblock-style pages pair black-and-white figure scenes with columns of Japanese text, showing bold linework, dense hatched backgrounds, and strong silhouettes that a designer could borrow for compositional contrast and framed text panels.
