絵本通俗三国志 巻１０
An 1884 Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) published by Shimizu Ichijirō, illustrating the popular vernacular Romance of the Three Kingdoms in volume ten, aimed at general readers. The pictures are bold black-and-white line prints of armoured warriors in dynamic combat, with crowded figures, flying debris, and inscribed character captions beside each figure. A designer could draw on the energetic hatching, dense armour patterning, and graphic use of broken shapes and motion lines.
