絵本通俗三国志 6

湖南文山 訳, 中村頼治 増補 · 1883 · 東京同益出版社 · 4 pictures

A Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) published in Tokyo in 1883 by Dōeki Shuppansha, a popular adaptation of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms translated by Konan Bunzan and expanded by Nakamura Yoriha�, aimed at general readers. Its pictures are bold black-line scenes of banquets, a warrior with a long spear among clouds, and massed battle, which show a designer how dense crowds, flags and dramatic action can be compressed into clear outline drawings with captions.
