絵本太閤記 : 真書実伝
An 1888 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) compiled by Kōu-tei Ōzan and published by Igyōkan, retelling the life of the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi for a popular readership. Its woodblock-style black-and-white pictures show armoured samurai in combat, a warrior on horseback among pine and bamboo, a palace interior with patterned floor tiles, and travelling figures on a path, giving a designer clear models for dense linework, kimono patterning and period armour.
