考古画譜 巻10

黒川春村 稿, 古川躬行 編, 黒川真頼 補 · 1901 · 有隣堂 · 12 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock-style picture book, the 1901 Kōko Gafu volume 10 published by Yurindō, compiled from earlier scholarship by Kurokawa Harumura and Furukawa Miyuki with supplements by Kurokawa Mayori, made for readers of antiquarian and historical subjects. Its black-and-white line illustrations show monks, samurai in armour, and Heian-style courtiers in interiors and outdoor scenes, offering a designer strong ink-line compositions, bold silhouetted figures, and traditional Japanese costume and architectural framing to draw on.
