絵本膝栗毛 初編
Ehon picture book Enpon Hizakurige, first volume, published in Japan in 1885 by Inoue Gisuke, a comic travel tale in illustrated woodblock-style prints. The pictures show men in kimono in tatami rooms and on verandas, with a samurai figure wearing a fox-face mask; their bold hatching, flat black outlines and stippled textures give designers strong graphic patterning and expressive poses to draw from.
