考古画譜 巻８
A Japanese woodblock-style picture book from 1901, Kōko Gafu volume 8, compiled by Kurokawa Harumura and Furukawa Miyuki with Kurokawa Mayori, published by Yurindō for readers of ehon antiquarian studies. The pictures are monochrome line drawings of courtly and noble figures in robes, seated or moving through wooden interiors with raised floors, screens and verandas, with a few framed portrait panels and inscribed cartouches. A designer could take from them the clean, sparse linework of Japanese historical costume and architectural spacing.
