These beautiful large format woodblocks faithfully capture the elegance of the original paintings. Subjects include classic landscapes and scholars rendered with fluid brushwork and minimal color, along with designs of birds, blossoms, and deities featuring simplified compositions and decorative patterning. Many include shimmering gold backgrounds simulating gold leaf. These fantastic designs are wonderful examples from the most influential schools of painting in Japanese history. A great choice for display.
