An 1884 Japanese woodblock-style picture book (ehon) published by Shimizu Ichijirō, illustrating a popular adaptation of the Three Kingdoms romance for a general readership. The pictures are bold black-and-white line drawings with dense hatching, showing crowded warrior scenes, dramatic poses and decorative framing panels with vertical Japanese captions that a designer could use for strong graphic compositions.
