Dessins, estamples, livres, illustres du Japon reunis Par T. Hayashi : andien commissaire general du Japon a l'exposition universelle de 1900
A 1902 Paris auction catalogue published by the Hôtel Drouot, documenting Japanese drawings, prints and illustrated books assembled by Tadamasa Hayashi, former Japanese commissioner at the 1900 Exposition Universelle, and once owned by Charles Lang Freer. The pictures are plates reproducing Japanese woodblock prints of elegant women and domestic interiors, plus a landscape, in soft sepia and grey tones that suggest how Japanese print composition, vertical panels and flattened space can inform layout and framing.
