SUZUKI Fuyou - Hi Kangen Sansui Gashiki 3 Vols

1789. SUZUKI Fuyou. HI KANGEN SANSUI GASHIKI 3 vols. Oohon, 25.3 x 17.5 cm. Edo, Oosaka and Kyouto. Originally printed by Suharaya Mouhei in Edo in 1789. This is most probably an early reprint. There is no colophon but a notice of the 6 bookshops that were selling the book in alll three major cities, including Suharaya Mouhei. Grey blue string bound covers, fukuro-toji with the original title slips. See Mitchell 295 for his recorded example. An interesting artist's guide to Chinese style painting by one of its most popular Japanese advocates at the time. Printed quite well in sumi ink throughout.. Trees, architecture, landscape.. a uide to the basic brush techniques to be employed in traditional "Nanga". The genre of these sample books is a large one. Artists from Fuyo, as here, to Ike no Taiga, even Hokusai had a try now and again. They all had students and were quite confident of being able to teach the basics of brushwork through image and exortation. A nice set. .
