Japan : its history, traditions, and religions : with the narrative of a visit in 1879
Japan: its history, traditions, and religions is a London travel and history book from 1880 by Sir Edward James Reed, based on his 1879 visit to Japan. Its two pictures are plate-style reproductions of Japanese woodblock prints, drawn in fine black line on a cream ground, with Japanese captions and a printed plate credit beneath each; a designer might borrow the crisp outline drawing and the sparse, flat-colour composition.
