絵本通俗三国志 初編 巻之8
This is a Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) from the Edo period, a popular vernacular retelling of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, illustrated by Katsushika Taito and published by Okada Mohei for a general reading public. The pictures are dense black-and-white line prints with bold outlines, crowded battle scenes, horsemen, armoured figures, and dramatic diagonal compositions that a designer could adapt for strong graphic silhouettes and manga-like action framing.
