西園山水画帖
A Japanese landscape picture album compiled by Nakamura Yazaemon and published by Benridō in 1903, part of the ehon tradition of pictorial books. The four plates are tall, half-tone reproductions of ink-wash style scenery, with soft tonal gradation rather than hard outlines, so a designer might borrow their misty atmosphere, layered silhouetted masses, and the way dark foliage frames open space.
