葛飾戴斗 画 · 岡田茂兵衛 · 8 pictures

This is a Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) from the Edo period, illustrated by Katsushika Taito for the publisher Okada Mohei, retelling the Three Kingdoms story in popular form. Its pictures are monochrome line drawings of mountain landscapes with small figures, horses and warriors, with dense, fine hatching in the foliage that a designer could draw on for landscape textures and compact narrative scenes.
