絵本太閤記賤ケ岳七本槍

1887 · 誾花堂 · 2 pictures

An 1887 Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) published by Ginkadō, illustrating a warrior tale from the Taikōki, the popular chronicle of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The two pages show armoured samurai in stiff, frontal poses against plain backgrounds, with dense hatched patterns on robes and armour that a designer could draw on for textile or pattern work, though the scan is grainy and the pages are cropped at the edges.
