絵本通俗三国志 2編 巻之1
This is a Japanese ehon picture book, the first volume of the second part of an illustrated popular Three Kingdoms story, drawn by Katsushika Taito and published by Okada Mohei, likely in Edo in the nineteenth century for general readers. Its pages are framed by dense woodblock floral borders around blank cartouches, with the second page carrying the title and table of contents in kanji and kana. A designer could borrow the tightly packed flower-and-leaf border system and the clean vertical panel divisions for decorative frames.
