An illustrated catalogue of Japanese modern fine arts displayed at the Japan-British exhibition, London 1910
An 1910 illustrated catalogue published in Tokyo by The Shimbi Shoin for the Japan-British Exhibition in London, presenting modern Japanese fine art to a British and international audience. The plates are sepia photographic reproductions of paintings rotated sideways on the page, showing misty landscapes, a waterfall, and a folding screen of flowers. A designer could take from them the soft grey atmospheric washes, layered mist, and the decorative gold-patterned panel borders.
