The flight of the dragon : an essay on the theory and practice of art in China and Japan, based on original sources

Binyon, Laurence, 1869-1943 · 1911 · New York : E.P. Dutton · 1 picture

A 1911 New York essay by the British art scholar Laurence Binyon, published by E.P. Dutton, on the theory and practice of art in China and Japan drawn from original sources, aimed at general readers of East Asian art. The single picture is a small black-on-cream rising sun over horizontal water lines, a simple woodcut-style tailpiece. A designer could take from it the economy of radiating rays and broken horizontal strokes as a compact emblem for dawn, sea, or a sunrise logo.
