絵本曽我物語 6

一咲居士 編, 法橋中和 画 · 1883 · 東京金玉出版社 · 19 pictures

An 1883 Japanese ehon picture book, volume 6 of the Soga monogatari series, compiled by Itsusai Koji and illustrated by Hokkyo Chuwa, published in Tokyo by Kinkodo for general readers of the period. The woodblock-style line drawings show courtly interiors with figures seated on raised verandas, behind painted screens, and in gardens with pines, fences and bamboo, with simple flat space and open white ground that suit layout studies, clean line motifs and architectural framing.
