Picture Book of the Foot and Peak of the Mountain (Ehon komagatake ) : [volume 3]
A Japanese woodblock picture book printed in Edo in 1802 by the publisher Nishimura Sōshichi and written with illustrations by Kitao Shigemasa, a designer of popular ukiyo-e prints, for a general reading audience. Its double-page spreads pair hand-coloured scenes of warriors on horseback, scholarly figures under pine trees, and travellers in gardens with columns of calligraphic verse, so a designer could draw on its flat colour washes, bold outlines, and the way text and image share the page.
