[絵本] 〔１６〕太閤記小牧山合戦下

沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) compiled by Sawa Kyujiro in 1887, published by Sawa himself, presenting episodes from the Taikoki chronicle of Hideyoshi's Komaki battle for a popular readership. The four pictures show armoured samurai on horseback and on foot in dense, hatched black-and-white line work framed by vertical columns of kana text, offering a designer strong graphic contrast, rhythmic patterning of armour and textiles, and a dynamic diagonal composition of riders in motion.
