写山楼無声詩話

谷文晁 (写山) 著 · 1895 · 須原鉄二郎 · 5 pictures

A Japanese illustrated book of 1895 by Tani Bunchō (Shazan), published by Suhara Tetsujirō, a woodblock-era picture book of the ehon kind. Its pictures are a stippled portrait silhouette in profile, a block of carved seal characters, a robed figure beside a rock, and a schematic map with Japanese place names; a designer might draw on the calligraphic seal forms, the dense stipple texture, and the sparse linework of the map.
