通俗絵本三国志 第５編
A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock-style picture book from 1893, published by Yusokuken, the fifth volume of a popular illustrated retelling of the Three Kingdoms romance for a general readership. The pictures are bold black-and-white ink line prints with framed panels, decorative borders and captions, showing armoured warriors in dramatic battle poses, with a designer able to draw on their strong contour linework, patterned armour and dynamic compositions.
