Explanation of Japanese village and its inhabitants
Explanation of Japanese village and its inhabitants is an 1886 New York guide by Ella Sterling Mighels, published by J.B. Rose, describing the exhibition village of Japanese craftsmen for American visitors. The pictures show numbered open-fronted workshops with hanging paper lanterns, lacquered wares and tools, drawn in plain black line with a woodcut-like hatching that a designer could borrow for period signage or stylised village scenes.
