絵本太閤記 初編 巻9,10
An 1882 Tokyo illustrated book, the Ehon Taikoki first series volumes 9 and 10, by Okada Gyokuzan with additions by Nakamura Yoriharu, published by Tokyo Dōeki Shuppansha as a popular picture book in Japanese ehon style. Its woodblock-style line prints show samurai in armour, battlefield scenes, and interior courtly settings, drawn in clean black outlines with little shading, which a designer could use as a reference for bold graphic line work, armour patterning, and sparse landscape composition.
