絵本通俗三国志 5編 巻之1
This is a Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) from the Edo-to-Meiji period, illustrated by Katsushika Taito and published by Okada Mohei, retelling the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in popular form. The first picture shows a double-page battle scene of mounted warriors in armour against a moonlit snowy backdrop, with bold brushed inked lines and dense dark areas a designer could borrow for dramatic compositions. The other pages are a large bold character and a floral-bordered blank text frame, useful for decorative framing and strong graphic lettering.
