Sketches of People (Jinbutsu sōga) 人物艸画

Two-page spread from a book with drawings of people in traditional Japanese clothing. The pages are yellowed and aged with visible wear. Each page features one seated figure drawn in black ink. The figures wear traditional Japanese attire, including kimonos with patterns and designs, and formal headpieces. They sit cross-legged on the floor. The figure on the left has short hair and a serene expression, while the figure on the right has a tall, black headpiece and appears to be holding an object. Both pages have handwritten notes in cursive script at the top and vertical text in Japanese on the left and right sides of the figures. A light blue circular design is visible on the right page, behind the drawing. The pages have a simple black line separating the top section from the rest of the page.
