Images from the compilation book Clear Shadows (Kuma naki kage) (aka Shadows Without Shadows; Silhouettes; or No Shadows in Any Nook or Corner), 1867.
The book also includes biographies, puzzles and poems in the manner of kyōga-awase (picture-matching for fun) – partygoers were given a subject to illustrate and told to draw anything except for the subject itself.
