絵本太閤記
Ehon Taikoki is an 1887 Japanese picture book compiled by Ikeda Tōen and published by him, retelling the life of the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi in woodblock-style illustrations with kanji captions. The four pictures show samurai in patterned kimono and armour in tense interior and riverside scenes, with bold black ink hatching, strong figure poses, and crests on screens and walls that a designer could borrow for dramatic compositions and graphic patterning.
