Illustrated Journal of Japanese History no. 1-10 (Nihon Rekishi Gaho) : [volume 10]
An illustrated Japanese history journal, volume 10, produced by the artist Matsumoto Fūko and published in Tokyo in 1893 by Ōkura Shoten for a general readership. Its pages are ink-line drawings with light colour wash, showing historical figures on horseback, mountain streams, and camp scenes under trees. A designer could take its spare linework, pale washes and generous empty ground, which give scenes of travel and rest a quiet, uncrowded feel.
