官材画譜 [1]

土屋秀世 [著], 松村寛一画 · 39 pictures

A Japanese picture book (ehon) titled 官材画譜, with text by 土屋秀世 and illustrations by 松村寛一, offered here as a series of monochrome ink plates. The pictures show mountain landscapes with timber being moved along slopes and across bridges. A designer might take from them the layered ink-wash depth of mountains and the diagonal rhythm of logs sliding down stepped runways.
