1915 · Tōkyō : Ukiyoesha · 1 picture

A 1915 Tokyo book published by Ukiyoesha about Japanese colour prints, with this plate showing a seated figure in traditional dress reading a letter by a sunlit window, framed by Japanese text. The photographic plate offers a designer a quiet study of interior light, posture, and the layout of vertical Japanese captions beside a framed image.
