絵本太閤記 4編 巻3

岡田玉山 著・画 · 1886 · 三史堂[ほか] · 33 pictures

Ehon picture book volume 3 of part 4 of the Taikoki series, written and illustrated by Okada Gyokuzan and published in Japan in 1886 by Sanshido and others, for a general readership of woodblock-era picture book fans. The pictures are black-and-white woodcut-style scenes of armoured warriors in battle, with dense crowds of soldiers, flags, trees and water, and bold brush-like outlines a designer could borrow for dynamic compositions and period texture.
