日本風俗図絵 第10輯

黒川真道 編 · 1915 · 日本風俗図絵刊行会 · 173 pictures

A 1915 Japanese picture book, volume ten of the Nihon Fūzoku Zue series, compiled by Kurokawa Mamichi and published by the Nihon Fūzoku Zue Kankōkai for a general readership interested in customs. The pages are woodblock-style line illustrations of Japanese figures in kimono, with columns of vertical calligraphy beside them. A designer might take from them the economical black linework, the flat staging of groups in landscape, and the way verse text sits in the margins beside the scene.
