絵本通俗三国志 3編 巻之7
This is a Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) from the Edo period, the third series of an adaptation of the Three Kingdoms romance, volume seven, illustrated by Katsushika Taito and published by Okada Mohei. Its woodblock prints show Chinese court and battle scenes with figures in layered robes, seated in pavilions with lattice railings, and armoured soldiers with banners and spears in a crowded field. A designer might take the bold hatched textile patterns, the dense crowd compositions, and the clear black-line woodcut outlines as reference for graphic work.
