能楽画譜 第6集

能画刊行会 編 · 1920 · 能画刊行会 · 10 pictures

A 1920 Japanese picture book of Noh theatre plates, compiled and published by the Nōga Kankōkai, with the sixth volume of a series aimed at readers of ehon illustrated books. Its pictures are ink-line figures in black and grey wash on white, showing performers in patterned silk robes, hooded masks, fans and swords, drawn with flat tonal areas and crisp outlines that a designer could borrow for graphic motifs such as kimono pattern, stylized fans and strong figure silhouettes.
