絵本通俗三国志 4

湖南文山 訳, 中村頼治 増補 · 1883 · 東京同益出版社 · 9 pictures

This is an 1883 Japanese ehon picture book, the fourth volume of a popular illustrated Three Kingdoms romance, published in Tokyo by Dōeki Shuppansha and adapted by Kominami Bunzan with additions by Nakamura Yoriji for a general readership. Its woodblock-style black-and-white pictures show dramatic warriors in motion, with bold outlines, dense hatching on rocks and grass, and Chinese-style captions beside the scenes, offering designers strong examples of energetic linework and action staging.
