Korean games : with notes on the corresponding games of China and Japan

Culin, Stewart, 1858-1929 · 1895 · Philadelphia : University of Pennsylvania · 20 pictures

Stewart Culin's 1895 ethnographic survey of Korean games, with Chinese and Japanese parallels, published by the University of Pennsylvania for scholars and collectors. Brush-drawn plates show children and adults playing — kite-making, tops, rope games, acrobats — in thin ink outline with flat washes of red, green and pink, leaving generous white space useful for figure cut-outs and line motifs.
