絵本太閤記 4編 巻5

岡田玉山 著・画 · 1886 · 三史堂[ほか] · 16 pictures

An 1886 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) by Okada Gyokuzan, published by Sanshidō and others, with woodblock-style black ink line drawings of armoured warriors in a battle narrative. The pictures show dense pine trees, rippling water, and crowds of samurai in lacquered armour, with vertical columns of Japanese text in cartouches; a designer could draw on their hatched linework, pine silhouettes, and layered armour patterns.
