絵本太閤記 ４編 巻７
This is a Meiji-era printed Japanese picture book (ehon) of 1886, volume 7 of the fourth part of the Ehon Taikoki, a woodblock-style illustrated retelling of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's life, drawn and written by Okada Gyokuzan and published in Tokyo by Sanshido. Its pages show samurai in interiors and courtyards, with pine trees, tiled roofs, and rows of tiled fences. A designer might take its tidy black line work, flat open compositions, and bold use of framed panels with calligraphic captions.
