絵本太閤記 3編 巻12
This is a Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) from 1879, illustrated and written by Okada Gyokuzan and published by Ōno Ichibei and others. Its double-page prints show samurai battle scenes, camp tents and banners, and a castle set among trees and water. A designer could take its dense, flowing line work, the cloud-shaped borders and the stylised armour patterns as models for graphic compositions.
