西川祐信古代美人画譜
A Japanese ehon picture album published in 1913 and titled in Japanese, reproducing earlier prints of elegant women by Nishikawa Sukenobu for a general audience of collectors and artists. The four pictures show women in layered kimono playing a koto indoors, walking a veranda with an attendant, and strolling beneath a blossoming tree with a fan and a lantern at dusk, rendered in fine black line with flat patterned fabrics a designer could borrow for textile or stylised figure work.
