絵本太閤記 自5編至7編
An 1884 Japanese woodblock-style picture book (ehon) by the artist Okada Gyokuzan, published by Nishino Komatarō and others, drawn for a general readership of popular historical tales. The pictures are black-and-white line illustrations of armoured samurai, horses and battle scenes, with calligraphic captions set in cartouches; a designer could take strong bold linework, dense patterned armour textures, and dynamic diagonal compositions from them.
