清水市次郎 和解 · 1884 · 清水市次郎 · 10 pictures

An 1884 Japanese woodblock-printed picture book, volume six of the Ehon Tsūzoku Sangokushi, published by Shimizu Ichijirō with a Japanese adaptation of the Chinese Three Kingdoms novel, aimed at general readers. Its black-and-white woodcut scenes show armored warriors, robed scholars, and a palace audience in dense, confident line work, with strong black masses for hair, armor, and banners that suggest bold graphic contrast and an economical narrative layout for designers studying East Asian print composition.
