絵本通俗三国志 5編 巻之9

葛飾戴斗 画 · 岡田茂兵衛 · 7 pictures

This is a Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) from the Edo-to-Meiji period, illustrated by Katsushika Taito and published by Okada Mohei, adapting the Chinese Three Kingdoms romance for a popular readership. The pictures are black-and-white line prints with dense ink masses, dramatic diagonal compositions, and crowded battle scenes, offering a designer strong examples of bold figure silhouettes, billowing drapery, and high-contrast black shapes.
