絵本通俗三国志 巻８
An 1884 Japanese woodblock-style picture book, volume 8, published by Shimizu Ichijirō as a popular edition of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, aimed at general readers. Its pictures are bold black-and-white line illustrations of armoured warriors and fighters in dramatic action, with dense hatching, rough crowds of spiky forms and small carved inscriptions in the margins, offering a designer strong graphic contrast and energetic figure poses.
