Famous Places in Owari (Meiku shōkei nihen ) : [volume 2]
A Japanese woodblock-printed volume of famous scenic places in Owari, printed in Nagoya by Chitoseen in 1848 from designs attributed to Katsukawa Shunkō (1743-1812), for a general readership of travellers and armchair admirers. The pages pair hand-coloured landscape prints of temples, rivers, bridges, coastline and distant mountains with columns of Japanese calligraphic text, offering a designer compact examples of layered horizons, flat colour fields and tidy text-and-image layouts.
