和漢山水画譜

1893 · 薫志堂 · 60 pictures

A Japanese landscape picture book (ehon) published in 1893 by Kunshidō, titled 和漢山水画譜, drawing on Chinese and Japanese mountain-and-water painting traditions for an audience of painters and students. The pictures are monochrome woodblock-style ink landscapes with cloud-wreathed peaks, rocky shorelines, winding rivers, footbridges, thatched huts and pavilions, and sparse trees, rendered in fine hatched line and stippled rock texture that a designer could borrow for minimal, atmospheric compositions.
