[絵本] 〔１４〕太閤記難波戦記上

沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 17 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Sawa Kyujiro and published in 1887, presenting woodblock-style illustrations of samurai warriors in armour with columns of Japanese text beside them. The pictures show full-length armoured figures in dynamic poses, with their lacquered lamellar armour, helmets, swords and spears drawn in bold black line and dense hatching, which a designer might take as a model for strong figure silhouettes and pattern-rich armour textures.
