絵本通俗三国志 2編10

湖南文山 訳, 中村頼治 増補 · 1883 · 東京同益出版社 · 5 pictures

An 1883 Japanese ehon picture book, the tenth fascicle of the second part of a popular adaptation of the Three Kingdoms romance, translated by Konan Bunzan and expanded by Nakamura Yoriji, published in Tokyo by Tokyo Dōeki Shuppansha for general readers. Its woodblock-printed pages show seated scholars in interiors with bamboo and screens, and mounted warriors fighting through rain and rocky hillsides; a designer could borrow the bold black-and-white linework, dense hatching for rain and foliage, and the patterned floor and lattice details.
