絵本太閤記 初編 巻11,12
This is a Japanese ehon picture book, published in Tokyo in 1882 by Tokyo Dōeki Shuppansha, with text and illustrations by Okada Gyokuzan and later expansion by Nakamura Yoriharu, aimed at general readers of popular historical tales of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Its black-and-white woodblock-style pictures show courtly audiences, armoured warriors beneath standards and pines, and scholars on a riverbank, with dense hatching, flowing clouds and water, and speech bubbles that a designer could borrow for ink-line composition and framing.
