[絵本] 〔２０〕太閤記小牧山合戦上

竹内栄久編, 梅堂国政画 · 1884 · 小森宗次郎 · 16 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon), compiled by Takeuchi Eiku and illustrated by Umedo Kunimasa, published in 1884 by Komori Sōjirō for a popular readership. Its woodblock-style pages show mounted samurai in armour charging across the page with running horses, flowing manes and tails, and dense columns of Japanese text beside them, giving a designer bold, dynamic horse-and-rider silhouettes and strong black ink contrast.
