通俗絵本三国志

1888 · 銀花堂 · 69 pictures

A Japanese popular picture book (ehon) titled Tsūzoku ehon Sangokushi, published in 1888 by Ginkadō, drawn for a general readership and printed from woodblock-style illustrations. The four pages show warriors on horseback and mounted combat in carved, densely patterned settings, with calligraphic captions in cartouches. A designer could draw on the bold line work, the crosshatched textile and floor patterns, and the framed panel compositions with inscribed labels.
