葛飾戴斗 画 · 岡田茂兵衛 · 8 pictures

This is a Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) from the Edo period, a popular illustrated version of the Three Kingdoms romance, illustrated by Katsushika Taito and published by Okada Mohei for general readers. The pictures are bold black-and-white line prints with dense hatching and patterned borders, showing armoured warriors in gardens and pavilions with packed compositions that suit strong graphic blocking and ink-line contrast.
