絵本通俗三国志 2編下
A Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) from 1883, published by Chosakukan, retelling the Chinese Three Kingdoms story for a popular readership. Its pictures show mounted warriors in dynamic action, with flowing hair, armour, spears and swirling clouds drawn in bold black-and-white line work. A designer could take from them the energetic contour lines, dense hatching, and dramatic cloud and wave patterns of Meiji-era ukiyo-e-derived illustration.
