[絵本] 〔１９〕太閤記山崎合戦上

竹内栄久編, 梅堂国政画 · 1884 · 小森宗次郎 · 19 pictures

An 1884 Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Takeuchi Eiku and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, published by Komori Sōjirō, retelling the Battle of Yamazaki from the Taikōki chronicle of Hideyoshi. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style prints of armoured samurai warriors in dynamic poses, with vertical columns of Japanese text running beside them, showing how a dense narrative page can pair bold figures with calligraphic captions.
