[絵本] 〔２１〕太閤記難波戦記上

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 Sojiro, depicting the warriors of the Taiko-ki and Naniwa senki chronicles. The pictures are woodblock-style prints of armoured samurai in stylised poses, each labelled with a name in kana and kanji beside the figure and accompanied by columns of vertical text. A designer might draw on the dense, patterned armour, the bold line work and the vertical calligraphic layouts for historical or graphic reference.
