能楽画譜 第5集
Published in Japan in 1920 by the Nōga Kankōkai, this fifth volume of a Noh picture album was made for readers interested in the Noh theatre. The pictures show Noh performers in stylised costume, drawn in ink line and flat black areas with simple patterned kimono and a few props. A designer could take its economical silhouettes, bold black masses and textile-like patterning as a model for graphic work.
