Sketches by Sensai Eitaku (Sensai Eitaku gafu 鮮斎永濯画譜)
A Meiji-period Japanese woodblock picture album by the painter Eitaku, published in Tokyo in 1884 by Ōkura Magobei for a general audience of artists and collectors. Its double-page spreads show figures in landscapes drawn in fine black line on pale paper, with pine trees, rocks, and robed immortals or hermits. A designer might take its economical ink contour, crisp hatching, and the way mountain scenes are framed by a few gnarled trees.
