黒川春村 著, 古川躬行 編, 黒川真頼 補 · 1901 · 東京帝室博物館 · 28 pictures

A Japanese picture book printed in 1901 by the Tokyo Imperial Museum, compiled from earlier scholarship by Kurokawa Harumura, edited by Furukawa Miyuki and supplemented by Kurokawa Masayori, and drawn as woodblock-style ink illustrations of historical costume, objects and scenes. The pictures show fast black-line figures with dense hatched shading, armoured warriors, a folding screen, and a courtly interior with a lacquered chest, giving designers strong examples of bold outline and stippled tone from Japanese historical imagery.
