絵本通俗三国志 5編 巻之6
This is an illustrated Japanese picture book (ehon) from the Edo period, a volume of a popular adaptation of the Three Kingdoms romance, illustrated by Katsushika Taito and published by Okada Mohei. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style scenes of armoured warriors in battle, with arrows, spears and banners, and the calligraphic captions and dense crowd compositions offer a designer useful ideas for dynamic action layouts, rain-streaked backgrounds and ink-line hatching.
