絵本通俗三国志 2編4

湖南文山 訳, 中村頼治 増補 · 1883 · 東京同益出版社 · 7 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated edition (ehon) of the Three Kingdoms romance, published in Tokyo in 1883 by Tokyo Dōeki Shuppansha, with text translated by Konan Bunzan and expanded by Nakamura Yoriji for a general popular readership. Its woodblock-style prints show crowded battle scenes with armoured warriors, billowing robes, and dense ink hatching, offering a designer strong examples of dynamic composition, dramatic action framing, and bold black-and-white line work.
