考古画譜 巻２
A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated reference, the Kōkogafu volume 2 of 1901, compiled by Kurokawa Harumura, edited by Furukawa Mikiyuki and supplemented by Kurokawa Masayori, published in Tokyo by Yurindō. Its woodblock-style line drawings reproduce historical costume, architecture and figures from older Japanese sources, aimed at scholars and artists studying the past. The pictures show plain black ink outlines on open white ground, with courtiers in layered robes, a figure with a bow beside a tiled timber stage, a checkered floor under a carved balustrade, and two armoured men crossing rocky ground, giving a designer clean period silhouettes and costume detail with little shading.
