絵本太閤記 上
Ehon Taikoki volume one is a Japanese illustrated history picture book printed in 1886 by Bunjidō, with woodblock-style illustrations by Okada Gyokuzan, retelling the life of Toyotomi Hideyoshi for a general reading public. The pictures are bold black-and-white line drawings with dense hatching on armour, patterned robes and textiles, and firm calligraphic captions set in vertical columns, offering designers strong figure silhouettes, dynamic battle poses and graphic patterning.
