Moyō hinagata miyako no nishiki / [henshū Yamanaka Kichirobē]

Kichirobe Yamanaka

1886 · Medium unknown · The Libraries

Title on verso of cover: Hinagata miyako no nishiki. On double leaves, traditional oriental format. An uncommonly good collection of kimonos and obi belts for both women and men, all printed in rich yet delicate colors. The illustrator, to give more "texture" to many of the images, has had the plates lightly embossed. The patterns are unusually sophisticated.
