中村金城 画 · 1910 · 富里昇進堂 · 55 pictures

A Japanese-published picture book of 1910, illustrated by Nakamura Kinjō, depicting Korean customs and everyday life for a Japanese readership. The black-and-white line drawings show figures in traditional Korean dress outdoors under trees, including a kite flyer, a group sharing a meal, officials in black gat hats, and a porter carrying a large bundle. A designer might take from them the loose ink-wash line style, the simple figure silhouettes, and the sparse ground-and-tree settings.
