Paintings and studies by Kawanabé Kyōsai. : An illustrated and descriptive catalogue of a collection of paintings, studies, and sketches, by the above artist, with explanatory notes on the principles, materials, and technique, of Japanese painting
A 1911 catalogue by J. Conder, published in Tokyo by Maruzen, presenting paintings, studies and sketches by the Japanese artist Kawanabe Kyōsai with notes on Japanese painting technique for Western readers. The plates show ink-and-wash hanging scrolls and a paired screen, with a pine-shaded mountain landscape, two standing figures, a reclining figure and a loose ink sketch of a flowing robed figure. A designer might take from them the economy of monochrome brush line, pale grey washes and the open space around figures.
