絵本通俗三国志 初編 巻之9
This is a Japanese ehon picture book, volume 9 of the first installment of a popular version of the Three Kingdoms, illustrated by Katsushika Taito and published by Okada Mohei in Edo for general readers. Its pictures are black-and-white woodblock prints of mounted warriors in dense landscapes, with crowded rock, foliage and flying geese; a designer might take the bold line density, the flowing horse manes and the tight compositional diagonals from them.
