[絵本] 〔18〕 太閤記山崎合戦 下

沢久次郎 編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 16 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1887 by Sawa Hisajirō, illustrating episodes from the Taikōki chronicle of Hideyoshi's battles, likely for a general popular readership. The woodblock-printed pages show samurai on horseback in armour with dense columns of Japanese text beside the figures, and a designer could draw on their bold black outlines, simplified stylised horses, and compact figure-and-text page layouts.
