Yajima, Gogaku, active 19th century · 1823 · 13 pictures

Ichirō Picture Album is a Japanese woodblock-printed album of landscape painting models made by Yajima Gogaku and published in 1823 for artists and students of the Japanese painting tradition. Its pages pair ink-line landscapes of mountains, pines, boats, villages and Mount Fuji with occasional columns of cursive script, giving designers loose, economical scenery built from a few confident strokes and open areas of paper.
