絵本通俗三国志 初編 巻之3

葛飾戴斗 画 · 岡田茂兵衛 · 7 pictures

A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) of the Three Kingdoms romance, illustrated by Katsushika Taito and published by Okada Mohei in Edo-period Japan for general readers. The pictures are black-and-white woodcut prints with bold ink outlines, dense foliage, and hatched skies, and a designer could take their dramatic compositions, swirling wind and water, and strong figure silhouettes as a study in graphic density.
