Famous Places in Owari (Meiku shōkei shohen) : [volume 1]
A Japanese woodblock-printed volume of famous scenic places in Owari, published in Nagoya in 1847 by Chitoseen and attributed to the painter Katsukawa Shunkō (1743-1812), presented as a guide for readers of landscape views. Its double-page spreads pair poem text in columns with small landscape prints in soft blue, green and ochre, showing coastlines, pine-covered hills, distant mountains and boats on water, a design source for calm, layered horizon compositions and restrained colour palettes.
