絵本通俗三国志 6編 巻之9
A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) from the Edo period, illustrated by Katsushika Taito and published by Okada Mohei, part of a popular edition of the Three Kingdoms romance. The pictures are black-and-white line woodcuts showing armoured warriors fighting in hilly landscapes, a fortified wall with a tower, a galloping horse with a rider, and a floral-bordered blank page. A designer might take the dense, energetic hatching and the bold outlined figures and armour patterns as models for graphic line work.
