絵本三国妖婦伝 下編
An 1884 Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon), the lower volume of a work by Takai Ranzan published by Kimura Bunzaburō, illustrating legendary tales of seductive women from China and Japan for a general reading public. The pictures are black-and-white line illustrations with kanji captions in cartouches, showing figures in patterned robes, a fan-bearing woman beside a mountain, and interiors with sliding screens. A designer might draw on their dense ornamental textile patterns, the bold ink line, and the framed caption boxes for graphic layouts.
