[絵本] 〔１０〕太閤記ノ内山崎大合戦

沢久次郎編 · 1894 · 沢久次郎 · 22 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Sawa Kyujiro and published by him in 1894, illustrating the Battle of Yamazaki from the Taikoki chronicle of Toyotomi Hideyoshi for a popular readership. The pages show armoured samurai in combat with swords and spears, the woodblock lines bold and dense, with vertical Japanese text columns beside the scenes that a designer could use for dynamic action layouts and traditional armour pattern references.
