絵本通俗三国志 巻１２
This is a Meiji-era Japanese woodblock-style picture book, an illustrated popular edition of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms (volume 12), published in 1884 by Shimizu Ichijirō and adapted for a general readership. The pictures show armoured warriors in fine lamellar and patterned armour, a palace interior with figures in flowing robes, and a dense black-ground plate with ornamental floral motifs, offering a designer strong graphic contrast between solid black fields and crisp linework, along with patterned textile and armour ideas.
