This is a Japanese illustrated edition of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a popular historical novel, translated by Kosan Bunzan and expanded by Nakamura Yoriharu, published in Tokyo in 1883 by Dōeki Shuppansha for general readers. Its woodblock-style pictures show mounted warriors in dense landscapes, a rider galloping with flowing horse tail, and fighters amid stylised swirling clouds, offering a designer bold black-and-white linework, patterned armour and dramatic cloud motifs to adapt.
