南画集 〔中巻〕
A 1918 Japanese collection of southern-school Chinese ink landscape paintings, compiled by Murayama Junggo and published by Kokka-sha, reproduced as black-and-white photographic plates for art connoisseurs and students. The four pictures are tall hanging scrolls showing misty mountains, pines, waterside pavilions and tiny travelers, with calligraphic inscriptions in the upper margins; a designer might take their sparse composition, layered atmospheric haze and economical brushwork as a model for minimal landscape layouts.
