絵本通俗三国志 ７
A Japanese woodblock-printed ehon picture book, a Meiji-era 1883 Tokyo edition of a popular vernacular version of the Three Kingdoms romance, translated by Konan Bunzan and expanded by Nakamura Yorii for a general readership. Its black-line figure scenes show courtly interiors, gardens and palace architecture, which a designer could draw on for clean, high-contrast linework and stylised period costume patterning.
