通俗絵本三国志 第８編
A Japanese woodblock-style picture book from 1893, published by Yūsokuken, one part of a popular illustrated retelling of the Three Kingdoms romance for general readers. Its pictures are black-and-white line illustrations with dense hatching, showing armoured warriors in combat, figures in palace interiors with tiled floors and balustrades, and a rocky scene with a bearded warrior bound to a tree. A designer could take their bold contour lines, patterned border bands, and crowded compositions as models for graphic work.
