絵本三国誌
An 1890 Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Maki Kinnosuke and published by Kinjudō, retelling the Three Kingdoms romance for a general reading public. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style battle scenes with bold dark ink masses, a mounted warrior with a long spear, and flowing flags and spear shafts across the page, with a patterned border at top and bottom that a designer could borrow for dramatic, high-contrast compositions.
