考古画譜 ６
A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (Kōkogafu vol. 6) compiled by Kurokawa Harumura, edited by Furukawa Mitsuyuki and supplemented by Kurokawa Mayori, published in Tokyo in 1901 by the Imperial Household Museum for scholars of antiquities and costume. Its pictures are fine black-line woodblock-style drawings of court figures, seated in interiors with lattice screens, curtains and patterned robes, and a designer could take from them the clean contour linework, dense textile patterning and tidy spatial framing of historical Japanese art.
