絵本太閤記 ４編 巻２
A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated book (ehon) of 1886, written and drawn by Okada Gyokuzan and published by Sanshido and others, retelling the life of Toyotomi Hideyoshi for a general readership. Its pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style line drawings of samurai, palace halls, verandas, pine trees and ponds, with dense hatching and strong diagonal architecture that a designer could draw on for patterned linework, staging of figures in deep perspective, and compositions framed by roof edges and railings.
