Hiroshige Picture Album (Hiroshige gafu 広重画譜)
A Japanese woodblock picture album of 1862 by Utagawa Hiroshige, a collection of landscape prints offering pastoral views of rivers, mountains and villages. The pictures are flat, pale-coloured landscapes with soft greens, blues and rust-red foliage, and a designer might borrow their simplified layering of distant peaks, water and trees, and their generous empty sky and mist.
