絵本太閤記
Ehon Taikōki is a Japanese picture book compiled by Tsutsumi Kichibē and published in 1888, retelling the life of the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi for a general readership. Its pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style prints with dense cross-hatching, bold silhouettes of armoured horsemen, and calligraphic text panels set into the scenes, showing a designer strong figure-ground contrast and how text can sit inside an image.
