This 1911 catalogue from the Musée des arts décoratifs in Paris, published by Ateliers photo-mécaniques D. A. Longuet, reproduces Japanese color prints by Kiyonaga, Buncho and Sharaku from private French collections shown in an exhibition for a Paris audience. The plates show full-length actors in patterned robes and close-up faces against plain grounds, with bold outlines, flat areas of color and dense textile patterns a designer could study for figure silhouette, pattern repeat and tight cropping.
