雍府画帖 二篇

山田直三郎 著 · 1898 · 山田直三郎 · 14 pictures

A Japanese ehon picture album titled Yōfu gaden, second volume, written by Yamada Naosaburō and published by him in 1898, offering landscape studies for viewers in Meiji Japan. The pictures are monochrome ink landscapes with dark masses of trees, small roofed houses, streams, and misty distant hills, shown in a mix of heavy shadow and open paper. A designer might take from them the economy of black ink washes and the use of empty ground to suggest distance and atmosphere.
