How to Draw Landscapes Simply (Sansui ryakugashiki)
A Japanese woodblock-printed instruction manual of 1800 by Kitao Masayoshi, published in Edo by Suharaya Ichibei, teaching amateur painters how to draw landscapes in simplified brushwork. The pictures are ink-wash landscape sketches of mountains, pine trees, temples, lakes and travellers, each built from a few economical strokes that a designer could study for compact scenic shorthand.
