絵本太閤記 初篇-3篇(上)
An 1884 Japanese ehon picture book, the Ehon Taikōki (vols. 1-3, upper part), written and illustrated by Okada Gyokuzan and published by Rakuseisha for a general readership of popular historical fiction. Its woodblock-style black-and-white pages show scenes from the life of Toyotomi Hideyoshi in tiled-roof palaces, courtyards, and open landscapes, with dense, clean linework, framed captions in vertical columns, and stacked architectural perspective a designer could borrow for layered compositions.
