日本風俗図絵 第8輯
A 1915 Japanese picture book, volume 8 of the Nihon Fuzoku Zue series, compiled by Kurokawa Mamichi and published by the Nihon Fuzoku Zue Kankōkai for a general readership interested in customs. The four pictures show seated women in kimono drawn in restrained black ink line with pale washes, each beside handwritten calligraphic verses in vertical columns. A designer might take the economical contour line, the patterned kimono hems and crests (mon), and the layout of poem text beside figures.
