日本名所山水画譜

1892 · 渡辺直之 · 48 pictures

A Japanese landscape picture book of famous scenic places, published in 1892 by Watanabe Naoyuki, presumably for a general audience of collectors and art students. Its pictures are monochrome woodblock-style line drawings of mountains, pine-covered shores, bays, and fishing boats, drawn with economical strokes and open white space that a designer could borrow for minimal landscape motifs.
