絵本通俗三国志 巻１１
This is a Meiji-era Japanese woodblock-style picture book, the eleventh volume of an illustrated popular version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, published in 1884 by Shimizu Ichijirō for a general readership. The pictures are black-and-white line illustrations with dense ink contours, showing a dramatic night scene under a moon, armoured warriors fighting outdoors beside a tent, a woman and attendant on a veranda overlooking mountains, and a seated lord receiving courtiers in a formal hall; a designer could draw on their strong figure silhouettes, patterned kimono textures, and bold black-and-white contrast.
