絵本太功記 : 解説 本能寺の段

玉井清文堂編輯部 編 · 1929 · 玉井清文堂 · 4 pictures

A Japanese ehon picture book from 1929, published by Tamai Seibundo and edited by its editorial staff, offering a commentary on the Honnōji scene of the Ehon Taikōki drama. The woodblock-style prints show costumed actors and courtiers on a raised stage and in interior rooms, with a seated warrior holding a fan beside a family crest, and a decorative calligraphic title panel. A designer might take the dense staging, crest motifs, and bold black-and-white line work as reference for traditional Japanese theatrical compositions.
