A 1926 Japanese art monograph published by Ars on the painter Tani Bunchō, with text by Manzō Tetsugorō, reproducing his ink landscapes for art lovers and students of Japanese painting. The four plates are monochrome reproductions of hanging scrolls, with misty mountains, pines, cliffs and small huts drawn in loose, dry brushwork, and little more than pale grey ground around them. A designer could take from them the economy of ink wash, with dark accents set against large areas of empty paper, and the vertical scroll format with calligraphic seals placed to the side.
