義太夫百段集 上

内藤加我 編 · 1894 · 金桜堂 · 32 pictures

A Meiji-era (1894) Japanese illustrated book published by Kinōdō and compiled by Naitō Kaga, a picture book of ehon type with woodblock-style prints. The four pictures show samurai and courtly figures in interiors, with kimono patterns, a full moon screen and falling blossoms or rain. A designer could take from them the bold black-line figure work, the dense textile patterns on robes, and the compositions that frame figures against sliding screens and windows.
