絵本通俗三国志 ５
This Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon), volume 5 of an illustrated popular version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, was translated by Minamoto Bunzan-style compiler Kōnan Bunzan and expanded by Nakamura Yorihara, published in Tokyo in 1883 by Tokyo Dōeki Shuppansha for a general reading public. Its woodblock-style line pictures show warriors in armour fighting amid pine trees, a storm of driving rain and wind with figures scattered through it, and mounted generals charging with arrows flying across a double-page spread, offering a designer dense hatching, dynamic diagonal movement, and bold black-and-white figure compositions.
