岡田玉山 著・画 · 1879 · 大野市兵衛等 · 11 pictures

This is a Japanese woodblock-printed ehon picture book, Ehon Taikōki volume 3 part 5, written and illustrated by Okada Gyokuzan and published in 1879 by Ōno Ichibei and associates. The pictures are black-and-white line prints of palace interiors, veranda scenes, mounted armoured warriors and crowds in gardens, with dense hatching and fine ink contours a designer could use for bold monochrome linework and compositional framing.
