果亭画譜

児玉果亭 画, 高橋作衛 編 · 1914 · 清水書店 · 136 pictures

A 1914 Japanese picture book of hanging-scroll landscapes compiled by Takahashi Sakue and painted by Kodama Katei, published in Tokyo by Shimizu Shoten for students and connoisseurs of Chinese-style ink painting. The pictures are monochrome reproductions of ink landscapes with mountains, pines, small figures and calligraphic colophons set in the sky; a designer could take their vertical format, generous white space and sparse brushwork as a model for minimal layouts.
