Kyōchūzan (Mountains of the Heart)

Kameda Bosai, Published by Izumiya Shojiro II, Block cutter: Asakura Hachiemon

Edo period (1615-1868), 1816

This is acclaimed as one of the most beautiful books published in the Edo period (1615-1868) due to the sensitive capture in woodblock print, by the block carver and the printer, of the distinctive brushwork and subtle coloring of Bosai’s paintings.
