[絵本] 〔２６〕太閤記姉川大合戦中

沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 21 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) published in 1887 by Sawa Kyujiro, drawn from the Taikōki chronicle of Hideyoshi and the Battle of Anegawa, meant for popular readers. Its pages show armoured samurai in dense action scenes, with calligraphic captions set in the margins, and the strong black outlines and crowded compositions suggest bold graphic layouts for combat, narrative panels and text-image integration.
