Picture Book of the Foot and Peak of the Mountain (Ehon komagatake ) : [volume 1]
A Japanese woodblock picture book of 1802 by Kitao Shigemasa, published in Edo by Nishimura Sōshichi, with colour prints and calligraphic verses beside each scene. The pictures show warriors on horseback, a boatman on a river, a dragon among waves, and a man with a horse beside a wooden fence; a designer might take their loose ink outlines, pale washes of green and red, and the open composition of figures set against rocks, willows and pine.
