対山画譜 後

井沢保治 編 · 1880 · 伊藤甲造 · 29 pictures

A Japanese ehon woodblock picture manual compiled by Ii Sawa Yasuji and published by Itō Kōzō in 1880, offering landscape models for students of painting. The pictures show ink-line mountains with jagged rock outlines, clusters of bare and leafy trees, thatched huts beside water, and pine groves on ridges, all drawn with economical brush-like strokes. A designer could borrow the compressed, sketchy handling of rock masses and foliage, and the open white space left around distant hills.
