[KIMONO DESIGN - MANUSCRIPT]. 10 1/2" x 14 1/2" oblong design book, bound in single backed sheets on the short side with string (not fukuro-toji). With a brushed title label, sealed throughout but otherwise anonymous. (As often happens with manuscripts the name of the shop which used it as a pattern book has been excised). There are 25 black and white design sketches for elaborate kimono. More of a Kano, rather than a Rimpa style. The album probably dates from the first half of the 19th Century. A lovely item which suffers from very bad worming throughout. Though the damage is worse at the extremities of the work, holes are shot through the paper and effect the design images, as well.
