絵本通俗三国志 2編8

湖南文山 訳, 中村頼治 増補 · 1883 · 東京同益出版社 · 4 pictures

A Japanese illustrated edition of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, published in Tokyo in 1883 by Tokyo Dōeki Shuppansha and translated by Minami Bunzan with additions by Nakamura Yorihara, aimed at general readers. Its woodblock-style black-and-white prints show crowded courtly scenes, with figures in flowing robes, screens, railings and gardens, and a designer might borrow their dense hatching, bold outlines and dramatic staging for graphic work.
