池田孤村画帖

池田孤村 · 12 pictures

An album of Japanese ink and colour painting by Ikeda Koson, a Japanese painter, held as a picture book (ehon) and offering no date or place in its record. The pictures show plants, birds and fruit rendered in soft brushwork on warm paper, with sparse washes and a few touches of red, giving a designer a quiet model for botanical sketching, loose wash and restrained palettes.
