通俗絵本三国志 第16巻-第20巻

1885 · 成文社 · 17 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock-style picture book from 1885, published by Seibunsha, retelling the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in popular illustrated form for general readers. Its pictures are black-and-white line drawings with heavy outlines and flat patterned fabrics, showing armoured warriors in interiors with tiled floors and screens; a designer might take bold contour work, dense textile patterning, and the compact vertical panel layout framed by Japanese vertical captions.
