絵本通俗三国志 巻１６
This is a Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) from 1884, published by Shimizu Ichijirō, retelling the Chinese Three Kingdoms romance for a general Japanese readership. Its woodblock-style pages show armoured warriors in tense group poses, with dense patterned robes and inked black masses against open white ground, offering a designer strong figure silhouettes and bold graphic contrast in dark and light.
