Guide to Chinese Painting (Kanga shinan nihen 漢画指南二編), Second Series : [volume 2]
Guide to Chinese Painting, second series, volume 2, was published in Kyoto in 1810 by Hishiya Magobei and written by Kawamura Bunpō, a Japanese painter, as a model-book for amateur artists learning Chinese landscape styles. The pictures are woodblock-printed double-page landscapes in ink outline with light grey wash, showing rocks, pines, huts, and water. A designer might take from them the economical brush line and the way mist and empty paper suggest distance.
