Bunpō Landscape Picture Album (Bunpō sansui gafu 文鳳山水画譜)
Bunpō Landscape Picture Album is a Japanese woodblock-printed album of landscape pictures by Kawamura Bunpō, published in Kyoto in 1824 by Bunchōdō Yoshida Shinbei, aimed at painters and students learning the genre. The pictures show waterfalls, cliffs, rivers, pine trees and small riverside huts in soft ink washes with light colour, with mountains framed as broad diagonals across double-page spreads. A designer might borrow the economical line, the mist-filled distances and the way cliffs and water are built from repeated strokes.
