絵本三国妖婦伝
A Meiji-era (1886) Japanese woodblock-printed picture book, the Ehon Sangoku Yōfu-den, written by Takai Ranzan and published by Takahashi Kyōjirō, aimed at general readers of popular fiction. Its pictures are black-and-white line illustrations with kanji captions in speech balloons and cartouches, showing costumed figures in interiors and mountain landscapes with sweeping, decorative patterned robes that a designer could draw on for bold linework, pattern, and calligraphic text framing.
