絵本太閤記 4編 巻10

岡田玉山 著・画 · 1886 · 三史堂[ほか] · 18 pictures

An 1886 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) by Okada Gyokuzan, published by Sanshidō and others, retelling episodes of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's life for a general readership. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style line drawings of figures in courtyards, halls and gardens, with cloud bands framing scenes and calligraphic captions in columns; a designer might borrow the bold outline, the cloud-shaped panel borders, and the flat stacked composition of architecture and crowds.
