Kyōiku imayō bijin fūzoku zen
Kyōiku imayō bijin fūzoku zen is a colour-printed album of Japanese woodblock-style prints published in Tokyo in 1898 by Akiyama Takeemon, presenting contemporary beautiful women in everyday domestic settings. The pictures show women in kimono on verandas, at tea by a plum tree, seated beside a window in winter, and tending a child, drawn with fine outlines, soft grey washes and flat areas of patterned fabric that a designer might take for textile motifs, restrained palettes and figure poses.
