Early to Dawn (Akeyasuki あけやすき)
Early to Dawn is a Japanese illustrated book by Ōhara Donshū, published in 1832, a manuscript-style album pairing painted scenes with handwritten Japanese calligraphy. The pictures show riverside boats, a lantern-hung pleasure boat with women and children, and a flock of birds over pale wash, offering a designer examples of sparse ink-and-wash composition with generous empty space and lively small figures.
