絵本通俗三国志 2編2
This is a Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) from 1883, published in Tokyo by Tōeki Shuppansha, with text adapted by Konan Bunzan and expanded by Nakamura Yorihara, retelling the Three Kingdoms story for a general reading public. The black-and-white plates show battle scenes with armoured warriors and a mounted general crossing a wooded bridge, drawn with dense hatching and bold ink contrasts that a designer could draw on for strong graphic line work and dramatic silhouettes.
