花洛勝景画譜 前編
A Meiji-era Japanese picture book of Kyoto views, illustrated by Matsukawa Hanzan and published in 1893 by Torii Matashichi for a general audience of collectors and readers. Its woodblock-style plates show temple and shrine precincts in bird's-eye perspective, with pine groves, halls, torii gates and stone lanterns arranged in deep panoramic space. A designer might borrow the high oblique viewpoint and the dense crosshatched pine foliage as a model for layered landscape compositions.
