Choice masterpieces of Korin and Kenzan

Freer, Charles Lang · 1906 · Tokyo : Kokka · 3 pictures

A 1906 Tokyo publication by Charles Lang Freer, collecting reproductions of Japanese paintings and pottery by the artists Ogata Korin and Kenzan for collectors and art students. The plates show ink-and-colour work on silk and paper, including a bird on a flowering branch, a figure on a fan-shaped leaf, and stylized irises set against gold grass. Designers can draw on their restrained palette of muted ground, red accents, and flat decorative patterning.
