絵本太閤記山崎合戦
A Meiji-era (1894) Japanese woodblock-style picture book, an ehon, printed by Ochiai Mitsuo with an unnamed editor, illustrating battle episodes from the Taikoki story of Hideyoshi. The pages show armoured warriors in tiled courtyards, a sliding door, and a grey-and-white sweep of trees, drawn in bold black ink line with stippled texture. A designer could take the dense hatching of armour, the flat tiled ground, and the framed text panels with their dynamic vertical composition.
