A Japanese woodblock-printed popular picture book of the Three Kingdoms romance, published in 1886 by Bunjidō for a general readership. Its pictures are bold black-and-white line engravings of armoured warriors, battle scenes and figures set among pines, rocks and rails, with Japanese captions and seal-like labels beside them, offering a designer strong graphic silhouettes, dynamic diagonal compositions and calligraphic captioning to borrow.
