唐詩選画本 [2編巻1-5]

芙蓉先生画 · 1790 · 小林新兵衛[ほか2名] · 140 pictures

A Japanese ehon picture book of Tang poetry, illustrated by Fuyō Sensei and published in 1790 by Kobayashi Shinbei and two partners, probably for readers of poetry and painting in Edo. Its woodblock-printed pages show landscapes with figures, boats, willows, and calligraphy columns in a spare ink-line style that a designer could use for compositions built on loose brushwork, open space, and sparse detail.
