絵本通俗三国志 4編 巻之4

葛飾戴斗 画 · 岡田茂兵衛 · 8 pictures

An 1870s Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) illustrated by Katsushika Taito for the Tokyo publisher Okada Mohei, the fourth volume of a popular edition of the Three Kingdoms romance. The pictures are bold black-line scenes of warriors in storms, interiors with shoji screens, and galloping horsemen against crackled backgrounds, useful to designers for dynamic action composition and the strong graphic contrast of ink line on white.
