能楽画譜 第7集

能画刊行会 編 · 1920 · 能画刊行会 · 14 pictures

A 1920 Japanese picture book from the Noga Kankōkai, a publisher of Noh theatre illustrations, compiled for readers interested in Noh performance and its costumes. The pictures are monochrome line drawings and ink-wash images of Noh characters in stylised robes, masks, and poses, showing a designer how kimono patterning, layered sleeves, and the stillness of traditional Japanese figure drawing can be translated into simple graphic forms.
