雍府画帖 三篇

山田直三郎 著 · 1898 · 山田直三郎 · 22 pictures

A Japanese ehon picture album of landscapes, published in 1898 by Naosaburō Yamada, a Japanese author-publisher, for an audience of viewers of traditional painting. The pictures are monochrome woodblock-style prints of pines, mountains, rocky cliffs and garden pavilions, with ink-wash shading and calligraphic seal marks. A designer could take from them the economy of sparse ink line, the way mist and empty ground are left blank, and the pine silhouette as a graphic motif.
