絵本通俗三国志 2編9

湖南文山 訳, 中村頼治 増補 · 1883 · 東京同益出版社 · 5 pictures

An 1883 Japanese picture book (ehon) published in Tokyo by Dōeki Shuppansha, a Japanese adaptation of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms with text by Konan Bunzan and revisions by Nakamura Yoriharu, aimed at general readers. Its woodblock-style black-and-white pictures show dramatic scenes of warriors, a seated lord at a table, and figures in rocky landscapes with pine trees, in bold hatched line and dense ink, with a designer able to draw on its strong figure silhouettes and energetic ink textures.
