通俗絵本三国志 第11巻-第15巻

1885 · 成文社 · 19 pictures

A Meiji-period (1885) Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Seibunsha, volumes 11 to 15 of a popular version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, aimed at a general reading public. Its pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style prints of warriors in armour, figures on boats in rough water, and crowded scenes on a ship and at a riverside house, with vertical Japanese text panels beside them. A designer might draw on the dynamic diagonal compositions, the wave patterns and the dense crowd arrangements.
