閣竜世界博覧会美術品画譜 第3集
A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) of art objects, illustrated by Kubota Beisen and published by Okura Shoten in 1894, probably as a record of the Kōryū world exposition's art displays. The four pictures are line drawings of a black dog-like creature, a tatami room with a tokonoma and shelves, carved architectural ornament with paired mythical birds and capitals, and a bearded figure seated across from a second figure in a dark-ground scene. A designer could take clean, economical line work, precise objects-as-subject layouts, and carved ornamental motifs from these pages.
