文晁山水画譜
A Meiji-era Japanese picture book of landscape studies, Bunchō Sansui Gafu, drawn by Tani Bunchō and published in 1888 by Kōbundō in Tokyo for artists and students of painting. Its woodblock-printed pages show mountains, pine trees, rocky shorelines, and small thatched huts or pavilions built in the Chinese-influenced ink landscape manner, with sparse linework and open white space that a designer could borrow for minimal natural compositions.
