A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated book of Old and New Testament scenes, compiled by Mizushima Kōyō and published by Kyōyōsha in 1901 as an ehon picture album. The pictures are black-and-white reproductions of Western-style religious prints, several shown rotated on the page, with dramatic figures, flowing robes and strong contrast a designer could adapt for scenes of struggle, miracle or mourning.
