A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) illustrated by Katsushika Taito and published by Okada Mohei, a popular retelling of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in its seventh volume. The black-and-white pages show dragons and phoenixes over stylised breaking waves, a warrior with a raised halberd in a dark ground, and two robed officials standing side by side in patterned costumes, offering a designer vivid examples of wave and cloud patterning and bold figure silhouettes.
