対山画譜 前

井沢保治 編 · 1880 · 柳沢武運三 · 23 pictures

A Japanese ehon picture manual of ink landscapes, compiled by Izawa Yasuji and published in 1880 by Yanagisawa Buun-zō for students of painting. The pictures show brush-line ink paintings of bamboo, pines, rocky shorelines and small boats, printed as woodblock pages with carved calligraphy and red seal stamps, useful to a designer for sparse negative space, economical line and asymmetric placement.
