絵本太閤記 3編 巻3

岡田玉山 著・画 · 1879 · 大野市兵衛等 · 18 pictures

An 1879 Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) by the artist Okada Gyokuzan, published in Japan, retelling episodes from the life of the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi for a general reading public. The pictures are black-and-white line prints showing crowded figures, stylised clouds, pine trees and rolling water, with fine hatching and strong outlines that a designer could draw on for patterns, cloud motifs or compositions of crowds in flat space.
