The \u003cem\u003eehon\u003c\/em\u003e focuses on the economy of effort for artists, detailing a style popularized by Keisai called \u003cem\u003eryakuga-shiki\u003c\/em\u003e (abbreviated drawing style), which distills nature as a subject in painting into basic lines, curves, and dots. A wonderful peek at artistic forms during the Edo-period and an inspirational collection of drawings. This volume comes from a reprinted volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Plate images are just a sampling from volume available for sale. For more information, please contact us.
