Shōko gaishoku ichiran : Volume 2 / Honma Hyakuri ; [kōseisha Kawasaki Chitora]

Honma, Hyakuri, -1854 · 1901 · Tōkyō : Yoshikawa Hanshichi · 64 pictures

A Japanese colour-pattern catalogue from 1901, a reissue of Honma Hyakuri's earlier work, compiled by Kawasaki Chitora and published in Tokyo by Yoshikawa Hanshichi, listing textile or fabric colourways with woodblock prints. The pictures show stacked vertical striped and checked cloth panels in red, white, blue, green, grey and orange, each framed with a dotted cross-stitch border, giving a designer a dense set of traditional Japanese colour combinations and stripe rhythms to draw on.
