崋椿靄隆近世四大家画譜

[渡辺崋山 等画], 高畠藍泉 編 · 1881 · 文永堂 · 49 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture manual (ehon) published in 1881 by Buneidō, compiled by Takabatake Ranzen from paintings by Watanabe Kazan and others, meant for students of Japanese ink painting. The pictures are woodblock-printed landscapes, trees, and rocks in loose brushwork, with calligraphic inscriptions and seal marks in the margins, which a designer could use as reference for ink-wash mountains, pine groves, and plum branches.
