通俗絵本三国志
A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) from 1888, published by Fukurokan and compiled by Tsukinoya Akisato, retelling episodes from the Three Kingdoms for a popular readership. The pages show armoured warriors in dynamic poses, with bold black outlines, hatched shading on robes and horses, and Chinese-style key-fret borders and handwritten caption cartouches a designer could borrow for graphic framing and bold line work.
