One hundred masterpieces of Japanese pictorial art : selected by members of the faculty of the Tokyo fine art school
A 1909 Tokyo reproduction album of one hundred Japanese paintings, selected by faculty of the Tokyo Fine Art School and published by Shimbi Shoin for students and collectors of pictorial art. The four plates show a hanging-scroll style landscape with a lake and pavilion, a misty mountain with pines and a poem column, a chrysanthemum and grasses study with a quail, and a screen with floating figures and calligraphy against a plain ground. A designer could take from them the economy of ink line, the use of empty space, and the placement of motifs against bare silk or paper.
