広重画譜 上
This is a Japanese ehon picture book, Hiroshige Gashu volume one, drawn by Ando Hiroshige and published in Tokyo by Hakubunkan in 1894 as a sketch model collection for amateur painters. Its pages show ink-line landscapes, pine and willow trees, grasses and bamboo, misty mountains, boats, and a lion dog in swirling cloud, and a designer could take from them the economy of single brush strokes, empty ground left open, and dense black silhouettes against white.
