[絵本] 〔２〕太閤記本能寺合戦１号

永島福太郎編, 孟斎芳虎画 · 1880 · 堤吉兵衛 · 21 pictures

An 1880 Japanese ehon picture book titled Taikōki Honnōji Kassen, illustrated by Gekkōsai Yoshitora (Hōsai Yoshitora) and published by Tsutsumi Kichibei, presenting a woodblock-printed account of the Honnōji battle for a popular readership. The four pages show armoured samurai in dynamic combat, with bold black linework, dense kanji captions in vertical columns, and strong diagonal compositions that a designer could draw on for graphic energy, pattern, and text-image layout.
