山本梅荘翁画譜 2
This is a Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1913 by Shiseidō, reproducing the landscape paintings of the artist Yamamoto Baisō in vertical hanging-scroll format. The four pictures show misty mountains, pine trees, rocky outcrops, and small figures on paths and bridges, rendered in ink wash with calligraphic inscriptions at the top of each panel. A designer could draw on the sparse ink-wash composition, the generous empty mist, and the tall narrow format with its inscribed poem columns.
