香嶠歴史風俗画譜

谷口香嶠 画 · 1911 · 山田芸艸堂 · 21 pictures

A Japanese illustrated album of historical and customary scenes, painted by Taniguchi Kōkyō and published in 1911 by Yamada Unsōdō in Japan, likely for collectors and readers of ehon picture books. The plates mix full-colour reproductions with monochrome ink-style prints, showing figures in period costume, staged gestures, and sparse landscape settings. A designer might borrow the compositional economy of these plates: a single figure or pair set against wide empty ground, with dark vertical borders framing the scene.
