絵本通俗三国志 5編 巻之5
A Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) illustrated by Katsushika Taito, published by Okada Mohei, part of a series retelling the Three Kingdoms romance for a popular readership. The pictures show armoured warriors in dynamic battle scenes, crowded group compositions with stylised faces, and a lone warrior with a spear beside a moonlit gate. A designer might take from them the bold contrast of solid black masses against fine white line work, and the energetic crowding of figures across the page.
