日本画譜 第1,2,4帙

1890 · 日本堂 · 42 pictures

A Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1890 by Nihondō, a Japanese publisher, in volumes 1, 2 and 4 of its Nihon gafu series for a general reading audience. The pictures are woodblock-style black and white prints of figures in kimono, shown in landscape and garden settings; a designer might take their bold black masses, stylised fans and sweeping compositional diagonals for graphic layouts.
