絵本豊臣勲功記 第8編 巻之7
An 1884 Japanese ehon picture book, volume 8 of a series on Toyotomi warrior deeds, compiled by Sakurazawa Dozan and illustrated by Matsukawa Hanzan for a general readership and published by Gyokudōdō. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock prints of samurai in armour on horseback, mounted archers on a hillside, and a boat fighting through rough sea waves, with the calligraphic captions set in vertical columns beside the scenes. A designer might take the dynamic diagonal compositions, the dense hatching for armour and foam, and the vertical text panels as layout references.
