絵本通俗三国志
An 1887 Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) by Ikeda Tori-tei, published by Aoyagi Kunimatsu, illustrating the Romance of the Three Kingdoms for a popular readership. The pictures show armoured warriors in dynamic combat, crowded battle scenes with flying debris and banners, and seated courtiers in a tiled hall, rendered in bold black-and-white line work with dense hatching and calligraphic captions that a designer could borrow for graphic energy and texture.
