絵本通俗三国志 5編 巻之3
This is an illustrated Japanese picture book, a Tokugawa-period ehon retelling of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, drawn by Katsushika Taito and published by Okada Mohei. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style scenes of Chinese court figures on galleried palace balconies, with sparse carved railings, potted shrubs, and rocks, and a designer might take their clean line work, dense hatching for robes, and framed vertical text panels as a model for monochrome narrative layouts.
