[絵本] 〔２１〕太閤記難波戦記下

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

A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated book (ehon), compiled by Takeuchi Eiku and illustrated by Umedō Kunimasa, published in 1884 by Komori Sōjirō, drawing on the Taikōki and Naniwa war chronicles. The pictures are woodblock-printed warriors in armour on horseback or standing, with dense vertical columns of Japanese text beside them. A designer might take the bold ink contour lines, the patterned armour and the lively horse poses as a reference for historical Japanese martial imagery.
