華山俳画譜

稀書複製会 編 · 1926 · 米山堂 · 9 pictures

A Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) of haiga, brush-and-ink paintings with calligraphic inscriptions, compiled by the Kisho Fukusei-kai and published in Tokyo in 1926 by Yonezando for collectors and readers of ink painting. The pictures are loose, quick sumi-ink sketches with occasional light colour, where a designer might borrow the economy of a single gestural line, the empty ground left around a subject, and the placement of seal stamps and handwritten inscriptions beside the image.
