Mountains of the Heart (Kyōchūzan 胸中山)
Mountains of the Heart is a Japanese woodblock album of landscape designs by Kameda Bōsai, printed in 1816 for amateur painters learning brush-based scenery. The pictures are sparse ink-and-wash compositions of mountains, pines, boathouses and calligraphic inscriptions set on open paper. A designer could draw from their economical use of empty space, tilted rock masses and minimal line.
