通俗絵本三国志 第７編
A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock-style picture book (ehon) from 1893, published by Yūsokuken, adapting the Romance of the Three Kingdoms for a popular readership. Its pictures are bold black-and-white line engravings of armoured warriors in battle, framed by decorative borders and carrying small Chinese character captions beside each figure. A designer might take the dynamic diagonal compositions, dense hatched ink textures, and ornamented frame borders as models for bold graphic illustration.
