絵本通俗三国志 8編 巻之2

葛飾戴斗 画 · 岡田茂兵衛 · 7 pictures

A Japanese woodblock picture book, an ehon edition of the Three Kingdoms romance, illustrated by Katsushika Taito and published by Okada Mohei in Edo for popular readers. Its black-and-white pictures are dense line engravings with lively figures, stylized rock and foliage, and crowded battle or court scenes that show how a single page can carry narrative action through composition alone.
