絵本豊臣勲功記 第8編 巻之5
A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon), compiled by Sakurazawa Dōzan and illustrated by Matsukawa Hanzan in 1884 and published by Gungyokudō, aimed at general readers of popular historical warrior tales. Its four pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style scenes of armoured samurai on horseback and on foot in mountain and battlefield landscapes, with calligraphic captions and banners; a designer might take from them bold inked outlines, dense patterned armour, dynamic diagonal compositions, and the vocabulary of Japanese historical print.
