対山画譜 前
A Japanese ehon picture manual titled 対山画譜 (Taizan gafu), compiled by Ii Sawa Yasuji and published in 1880 by Ito Kozo, meant as a model book for students of Japanese ink landscape painting. Its pages show woodblock-printed monochrome scenes of bamboo, lakes, mountains and pavilions beside handwritten colophon columns, offering a designer simple brush-line textures and sparse compositions that suggest quiet, open space.
