Hippu zukai : gunyō no maki ; Senkō no maki.
A Japanese military manual compiled by Arisawa Takesada and printed around 1716 for martial and strategic study, with its publisher unidentified. Its pages show hand-coloured maps, battlefield scenes and diagrams of ceremonial and command equipment in a plain woodblock-and-ink style. A designer might take the layered map layouts, tidy diagrammatic labelling and soft green and ochre washes as a model for historical infographics.
