絵本通俗三国志 6編 巻之5
A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) from the Edo period, illustrated by Katsushika Taito (葛飾戴斗) and published by Okada Mohei, retelling the Romance of the Three Kingdoms for a popular readership. The pictures are black-and-white block-printed scenes of battle crowds, a moonlit river with a fortress, and mountain landscapes with figures on a road, set within text columns. A designer could take the dense, energetic line work of crowded combat and the economical black-and-white contrast of night and snow scenes.
