[絵本] 〔１２〕太閤記朝鮮征伐

堤吉兵衛編 · 1891 · 堤吉兵衛 · 15 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) issued in 1891 by the publisher Tsutsumi Kichibei, illustrating the Taiko-ki account of Hideyoshi's invasion of Korea for a popular readership. The pages pair woodcut scenes of armored warriors, storms and mountain passes with columns of printed text. A designer might take the dynamic diagonal streaks of wind and water, the dense black-and-white hatching, and the framed captioned panels as compositional models.
