[絵本] 〔４３〕太閤記山崎合戦上

沢久次郎編 · 1887 · 沢久次郎 · 21 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1887 by Sawa Kyujiro, reproducing woodblock-style illustrations of samurai armour, mounted warriors and battle scenes from the Taiko-ki chronicle of Hideyoshi's Battle of Yamazaki. The pictures are dense black-and-white prints with interleaved vertical columns of Japanese text. A designer might draw on their bold ink outlines, detailed armour patterns, and the stylised dynamism of the mounted and fighting figures.
