絵本呉越軍談 ３編 ３
A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated book (ehon) of 1882, text by Ikeda Tōri and pictures by Yanagawa Shigenobu, published by Inoue Jihei for a general reading public. Its double-page woodblock prints show armoured warriors on horseback and a commander with attendants in a landscape, with a third page of ornamental border scrollwork around a blank text panel. A designer could draw on the dynamic ink-line crowd compositions, the stylised swirling clouds and the flowing decorative frame borders.
