1893 · 有則軒 · 8 pictures

An 1893 Japanese picture book (ehon) published by Yūsokuken, a popular illustrated retelling of the Three Kingdoms romance for a general readership. Its woodblock-style pictures show armoured warriors in dynamic poses against patterned or stippled backgrounds, with bold outlines and dense hatched textures a designer could borrow for dramatic line work and ornament.
