絵本通俗三国志 4編 巻之1
This Japanese ehon picture book, illustrated by Katsushika Taito and published by Okada Mohei, retells the Three Kingdoms romance in woodblock prints for a general readership in the early nineteenth century. The pictures are dense black-and-white woodblock scenes of martial combat and crowded court or tent gatherings, with flowing ink-line figures and patterned floral borders, offering a designer compositional ideas for crowded action layouts, calligraphic labelling beside figures, and ornamental floral frames.
