Der frühere japanische Holzschnitt
Der frühere japanische Holzschnitt is a 1922 Berlin art-history volume by Carl Einstein, published by E. Wasmuth and held by the Getty Research Institute, reproducing early Japanese woodblock prints. The four plates show standing kabuki actors and courtesans in patterned kimono against plain or lightly shaded grounds, with bold black outlines, flat areas of pattern, and crests and floral motifs that a designer could draw on for textile, pattern, or poster work.
