絵本通俗三国志 巻１３
An 1884 Japanese woodblock-printed picture book, the thirteenth fascicle of an illustrated popular version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, published in Tokyo by Shimizu Ichijirō for a general readership of ehon buyers. Its pictures are black-and-white woodcut scenes of armoured warriors in mail and robes, shown in dramatic poses against dark backgrounds, alongside calmer interior and landscape scenes with figures in long robes and Chinese-style headwear; a designer might draw on their bold figure silhouettes, patterned armour textures, and strong black-and-white contrast.
