[絵本] 〔３〕 太閤記朝鮮攻伐

堤吉兵衛 編 · 1889 · 堤吉兵衛 · 13 pictures

An 1889 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published and compiled by Tsutsumi Kichibei, illustrating the Taikoki account of Hideyoshi's invasion of Korea for a popular reading audience. Its woodblock-style pages pair dense vertical Japanese text columns with bold black-and-white scenes of warriors in armour, ships on churning water, and a seated lord, showing strong graphic contrast, patterned fabric and armour textures, and a compact panel layout a designer could adapt for dramatic historical graphics.
