唐詩画譜之内 登柳州蛾山(収載資料名:唐詩画譜之内)

北渓 · 1 picture

A Japanese ehon picture book titled Tang Poetry Picture Album, made by the artist Hokkei in Edo-period Japan, illustrating classical Chinese verse for a readership of print collectors and students. The single picture is a woodblock print of a small robed figure seated on a rocky crag among steep blue peaks, with a column of calligraphic poem text at upper right; a designer might take its layered indigo washes, bold cropped cliffs and open cream negative space as a model for minimal landscape composition.
