An 1884 Japanese woodblock-style picture book (ehon) published by Shimizu Ichijirō, a Japanese adaptation of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, aimed at general readers. Its pictures are bold black-and-white line illustrations of armoured warriors in dramatic poses, with patterned robes and kimono-like textiles, showing how dense hatching and strong silhouettes can carry a composition.
