It is a copy of art magazin titled Bijutsu Sekai 美術世界  (Art World),
according to the colophon published in May 24th Year of Meiji (1891) by Shunyōdō in Tokyo. Name of chief editor
was Watanabe Shōtei - a famous Nihonga painter.
Between 1890-94、 25 volumes of this magazin were published.
(The cranes on the 3rd pic. were painted by Ogata Kōrin)
