絵本通俗三国志 7編 巻之5
A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) from the Edo period, illustrated by Katsushika Taito and published by Okada Mohei, retelling the Romance of the Three Kingdoms for a popular readership. Its black-and-white block-printed pages show warriors in armour, a mountain pass, and a garden-side building, with Japanese text in columns beside the scenes. A designer might take from them the dynamic figure poses, the dense hatching of armour and foliage, and the strong contrast of white ground against heavy ink line.
