Panoramic Views of Both Banks of the Sumida River at a Glance (Ehon Sumidagawa ryōgan ichiran) : [volume 3]
A volume of woodblock-printed landscape views by Katsushika Hokusai, published in Osaka in 1801 by Maekawa Zenbei, showing both banks of the Sumida River near Edo. The pictures are double-page spreads with calligraphic poem captions set into the sky and fields, drawn in soft washes of grey, green and red; a designer might borrow the layered, panoramic compositions and the spare handling of trees, roofs and water.
