通俗絵本三国志 第26巻-第30巻

1885 · 成文社 · 18 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1885 by Seibunsha, retelling the Three Kingdoms chronicle in volumes 26 to 30 for a popular readership. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style scenes of armoured warriors, courtly interiors and pine trees, with bold outlines and dense patterned textiles that a designer could draw on for flat graphic motifs and figure groupings.
