通俗絵本三国志 上

1884 · 文事堂 · 124 pictures

A Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published in 1884 by Bunjidō, a Romance of the Three Kingdoms retelling aimed at general readers. Its woodblock-style black-and-white pictures show crowded warriors in landscapes, interiors and battle scenes, with dense hatching, strong contour lines and tangled foliage a designer could borrow for bold graphic linework.
