通俗絵本三国志 第3編

1893 · 有則軒 · 7 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1893 by Yūsokuken, retelling episodes from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms for a popular readership. Its pages are woodblock-style black-and-white prints framed by decorative borders, each with a captioned name label. The pictures show armoured warriors, a mounted rider crossing a moonlit landscape, and richly patterned robes, offering a designer a reference for dense line work, ornamental frames, and calligraphic labels.
