呉昌碩書画譜 (2)
A 1921 Japanese-published picture book of hanging scroll paintings by the Chinese artist Wu Changshuo, compiled by Taguchi Beibou and issued by Shikeidō as a collection of his calligraphy and painting. The pictures are tall, narrow ink studies on paper with calligraphic inscriptions in the margins, showing branching plants, leaves, rocks and a perched bird in bold dark brushwork against pale ground, offering a designer strong silhouettes and expressive negative space.
