Picture Album of Landscapes by Yi Fujiu and Ike no Taiga (I Fukyū Ike no Taiga sansui gafu)
A Japanese woodblock-printed landscape album from Edo, published in 1803 by Suharaya Mohei and others, and attributed to Ike no Taiga (1723-1776) with Yi Fujiu, made as a model book for amateur painters. The double-page spreads show ink-line mountains, rocky cliffs, pine and bare trees, small huts, boats on water, and brief calligraphic colophons. A designer could take its economical contour lines, stippled rock textures, and open negative space as a restrained reference for botanical or topographic linework.
