One Hundred Paintings by Kōrin (Kōrin hyakuzu) : [volume 3]

Sakai, Hōitsu, 1761-1828 · 1815 · Edo : Seiundō [Hanabusa Bunzō] · 14 pictures

Kōrin hyakuzu volume 3 is a Japanese woodblock picture book compiled by Sakai Hōitsu and published in Edo in 1815 by Seiundō, reproducing the designs of the earlier painter Ogata Kōrin for artists and craftsmen. Its pages show fan-shaped compositions, pine trees, plum branches, cranes, rabbits, and flowers in spare black-line or ink-wash drawing, with empty space left around each motif. A designer could take from them the economy of fan and panel framing and the way a few brushed branches or birds fill a surface.
