Published in 1961, this large-format Japanese stab-bound book contains 64 pages of illustrations by Katsushika Hokusai. It offers an immersive visual experience of the world of Romance of the Three Kingdoms through powerful and expressive imagery. Titled En-gi Sangokushi Illustrated Encyclopedia (En-gi Sangokushi Jiten), this volume interprets Romance of the Three Kingdoms from the editorial perspective of Rai San’yō and brings it to life through Hokusai’s illustrations. Of the total 142 pages, 64 pages are devoted to Hokusai’s artwork, in which his distinctive dynamism is evident in the portrayal of characters and battle scenes. The Japanese binding format, measuring 31.0 × 22.0 cm, is well suited for appreciating the illustrations, with each double-page spread offering a strong visual impact.

Published in 1961 (Showa 36) and accompanied by its original slipcase, this book can be appreciated both as a collectible item and as a valuable reference work, offering a comprehensive overview of the Three Kingdoms world through Hokusai’s imagery. --- Condition --- There is some age-related surface wear on the cover.
