竹堂画譜 続編

岸竹堂 画 · 1903 · 山田芸艸堂 · 42 pictures

A Japanese ehon picture book, the continuation of Kishi Chikudō's painting album, illustrated by Kishi Chikudō and published in 1903 by Yamada Unsōdō, probably for artists and students of Japanese painting. The pictures are monochrome reproductions of ink landscapes showing cliffs, waterfalls, pine and mist, and flowering branches, all rendered in soft tonal gradations that show how a designer might build atmosphere with restrained grey washes and open negative space.
