絵本通俗続三国誌
This Japanese illustrated book (ehon) from 1886, published by Takeda Toshi, is a popular picture-book continuation of the Three Kingdoms tale, made for a general readership in Japan. Its woodblock-style prints show armoured warriors in dramatic group poses, with dense patterned armour, flowing robes and bold black linework that a designer could draw on for dynamic figure compositions and textile-like pattern work.
