絵本太閤記 1
Ehon Taikoki volume 1 is a Japanese illustrated picture book of the Toyotomi Hideyoshi biography, illustrated by Hokkyo Gyokuzan and published in 1917 by Kokusho Kankokai as a reprint of an Edo-period woodblock original for a general readership. Its pictures show woodblock-style scenes of samurai in armour, a seated lord in a palace, mounted warriors and walled castle gates, drawn with dense hatching, pine trees and clouds that a designer could use for sparse historical line work and compositional framing.
