絵本通俗三国志 ８
A Japanese woodblock-printed ehon picture book, a popular abridged retelling of the Three Kingdoms romance, translated by Konan Bunzan and expanded by Nakamura Yorihara, published in Tokyo by Dōeki Shuppansha in 1883 for general readers. The pictures are black-and-white line illustrations of warriors in combat among rocks, pine trees and willows, with bold swirling motion lines and dense hatching a designer could borrow for dynamic action compositions.
