絵本太閤記 3
An illustrated Japanese ehon picture book, Ehon Taikōki volume 3, illustrated by Hōkyō Gyokuzan and published in Tokyo in 1917 by Kokusho Kankōkai, drawing on a 19th-century woodblock original about the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The pictures are bold ink line drawings of battles, fortified sieges, and samurai encampments, with dense hatching on hills and foliage, which a designer could use for their compositional energy and strong figure-ground contrast.
