能楽画譜 第11集

能画刊行会 編 · 1920 · 能画刊行会 · 16 pictures

This is a Japanese picture book of Noh theatre, the 11th volume of a series, compiled by the Noh Picture Publishing Society and published in Tokyo in 1920 for readers interested in classical performance. The pictures are simple black-and-white line drawings of Noh costumes and stage figures, with dense patterned robes, wide sleeves, and stylised poses that suggest flat decorative shapes a designer could adapt for pattern or costume work.
