絵本山崎合戦

堤吉兵衛 編 · 1888 · 堤吉兵衛 · 18 pictures

An 1888 Japanese picture book, Ehon Yamazaki Kassen, compiled and published by Tsutsumi Kichibei, retelling the Battle of Yamazaki in woodblock-style prints with Japanese text panels. The pictures show armoured samurai in close combat, drifting smoke, banners and battle standards, and bold black-and-white line work that a designer might draw on for dense, high-contrast compositions and framed text-and-image layouts.
