浮世絵と風景画
Ukiyo-e and Landscape Pictures is a 1914 Japanese art-history book by Kojima Usui, published by Maekawa Bunei-kaku, a survey of landscape prints for readers of Taisho-era Japan. Its reproductions are grey halftone scans of woodblock prints: one shows a boat-laden river scene under a dark sky, another a pale, misty mountain with a waterfall and tiny travellers, and the rest show riverbanks, trees and figures seen from above. A designer could take from them the economy of layered mist, cropped foreground silhouettes and calligraphic cartouches set into open compositions.
