The Life of Shakyamuni Illustrated (Shaka goichidaiki zue kan san) : [volume 3]
This is a Japanese woodblock-printed volume of 1845 by Katsushika Hokusai, issued by publishers in Kyoto, Edo and Osaka for a general readership and covering episodes from the life of Shakyamuni. The pictures are black-and-white line illustrations of landscapes, figures on horseback, a hunter with a long pole, and interiors with sliding doors, drawn with fine, economical lines and open white space that a designer could use for compositional layout and sparse linework.
