絵本通俗三国志 4編 巻之5
This is a Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon), part four of an illustrated popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms, drawn by Katsushika Taito and published by Okada Mohei, probably in Edo in the mid-nineteenth century for a general reading public. Its pictures are crisp black-and-white line prints of richly detailed interiors, rocks, pine trees and seated scholars in robes, with dense patterning on screens and textiles that a designer could borrow for linework and ornament.
