日本戯曲全集 第十五卷

渥美清太郎 編, 校訂 · 1928 · 春陽堂 · 57 pictures

A 1928 Japanese collection of kabuki plays, edited by Atsumi Seitaro and published by Shunyodo in Tokyo for readers of drama and theatre history. Its pictures are woodblock-style prints of actors in elaborate robes, posed on stage and in stylised scenes with bold patterned kimono, which a designer could draw on for pattern-rich costume motifs, strong silhouettes and the flat graphic language of Japanese theatre prints.
