絵本三国誌
A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated book (ehon) of 1889 compiled by Yamamoto Tsunejirō and published by Ryūsōdō, drawn from the Three Kingdoms romance for a general reading public. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style battle scenes with dense hatching, bold silhouettes of armoured warriors and horses, and printed kanji columns; a designer might take their high-contrast ink patterning, cropped panoramic compositions and ornamental decorative borders.
