中村金城 画 · 1910 · 富里昇進堂 · 50 pictures

A 1910 Japanese illustrated album of Korean customs, drawn by Nakamura Kinjō and published by Tomisato Shōshindō, containing ink-line genre scenes of Joseon-era life. The pictures show men in traditional hats and white robes walking past a tree, scholars seated on a veranda, officials carrying long wooden boards, and a market stall with baskets and a passing figure under distant hills. A designer could take the clean, lightly shaded line work and the compact figure groupings as models for narrative vignettes set in East Asian landscapes.
