Description: | One of ten various ehon (picture books). A black backed volume of random woodblock prints (reputedly by HOKUSAI according to Bonhams). Many are of everyday Japanese scenes including clothes washing, eating, wood cutting. The last scene possibly in a rice field has a figure turning a water wheel with water represented similarly to how Hokusai depicted water in his famous The Great Wave Off Kanagawa (part of his Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji). Bounded in the sewn format, of folding pages and stringing one edge for spine.
Orange backed album of calligraphic styled sketches of vegetables, mountain and shore views. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Subjects: | Japanese Decorative arts Books Japanese Decorative Art Prints Japan | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
