対山画譜 後

井沢保治 編 · 1880 · 柳沢武運三 · 36 pictures

A Japanese ehon picture manual of 1880 titled 対山画譜 (second volume), compiled by 井沢保治 and published by 柳沢武運三 for students of brush painting. Its woodblock-printed pages show landscape motifs (mountain ridges, pines, bamboo, and trees beside water) in a few confident black strokes, with Chinese characters printed alongside, so a designer can take the economical stroke vocabulary and compositional framing of East Asian ink landscape.
