考古画譜 巻4

黒川春村 稿, 古川躬行 編, 黒川真頼 補 · 1901 · 有隣堂 · 11 pictures

Kokon Ehon Kōsho volume 4, a Japanese illustrated reference of antiquarian pictures compiled by Kurokawa Harumura, edited by Furukawa Mitsuyuki and supplemented by Kurokawa Masayori, published by Yurindō in 1901 for scholars and collectors of old Japanese painting and costume. The black-and-white line illustrations show robed figures in interior settings with sliding screens, painted panels, and folded textiles, with caption labels in the margins; a designer could take their clean ink contours and period architecture as reference for Japanese historical line art.
