集古画譜

関根痴堂 編 · 1889 · 日本絵事協会 · 16 pictures

A Japanese picture book (ehon) of 1889, compiled by Sekine Chidō and published by the Nihon Ekoto Kyōkai, reproducing older Chinese and Japanese paintings as woodblock-style prints. The pictures show black-ink landscapes with mist-wrapped mountains, twisted pines, a small hut by water, and a flowering iris drawn in clean outline, offering a designer clear linework and sparse negative space to borrow for botanical or landscape motifs.
