通俗絵本三国志 上

1886 · 文事堂 · 115 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock-style picture book (ehon) published in 1886 by Bunjidō, retelling the Three Kingdoms romance for a general readership. Its pictures are bold black-and-white line illustrations of armoured warriors in combat, palace halls, and crowds, with dense hatching and stippled skies that a designer could draw on for graphic patterns, ink-line character work, or period-styled battle scenes.
