絵本通俗三国志 巻４
An 1884 Japanese ehon picture book, volume four of a popular illustrated version of the Three Kingdoms romance, published by Shimizu Jirōjirō for a general readership. Its woodblock-style pictures show armoured warriors in crowded battle scenes and formal portraits of bearded generals with robes and halberds, drawn in bold black outlines with patterned textiles and armour that a designer could borrow for graphic motifs.
