Princess Splendor : the wood-cutter's daughter
Princess Splendor: The Wood-Cutter's Daughter is a Japanese fairy tale retold by E. Rothesay Miller and published in Tokyo by Kobunsha in 1889, aimed at a general and likely Western readership. The four pictures are colour woodblock-style prints with sparse ground lines and framed panels, showing courtly figures in layered robes seated beneath trees, townspeople in wide-sleeved garments on a street, and nobles peering over a bamboo fence, offering a designer clear figure poses and flat, decorative pattern on fabric.
