絵本通俗三国志 初編下
This Japanese picture book, Ehon Tsūzoku Sangokushi volume one part two, was published in Tokyo in 1883 by Chosakukan and draws on the Three Kingdoms romance for a general readership. Its woodblock-style battle scenes show mounted warriors charging through arrows, banners and flying spears, with dense cross-hatched armour, streaming manes and loose diagonal composition that a designer could borrow for dynamic action layouts.
