[絵本] 〔16〕 太閤記小牧山合戦 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, part of a multi-volume Taikoki series retelling the Komakiyama campaign for a popular readership. Its woodblock-style pages show armoured samurai on horseback and in combat, with brief columns of Japanese text running beside the scenes; a designer might borrow the dynamic horse-and-rider poses, bold ink outlines, and the dense framing of text and image.
