English: E-hon series, title: Kuroneko Yamato - Black Cat (of(?)) Yamato (mouse infestation & neko/cat fantasy story), author pending, illustrated by Katsushika Hokusai, published during the Edo period, circa 1808(?). Scans of 3 volumes (03, 08, 09) of a multi-volume (10 vols. in total?) series.
Test scan of 2 pages; full 2-page illustration, with captions. Woodblock printing with sumi ink, on thin washi paper, pages are bound double-folded (printed on one side only, then folded in half to create a "leaf" with printing on both sides). Image depicts a dramatic scene moments after the sudden decapitation of a (presumably attacking enemy) warrior, by a lady wielding a large katana. A man stands behind her (poised to act in her defense?), sword partly-drawn. Exterior setting; water/garden? The image has been defaced with black ink, possibly in the form of crudely written Japanese-language characters. Volume 03(?), illustration 01 of 05. |
