Literature: | A rare item: a complete studio album of 65 pages, filled with an incredible collection of single-page drawings, figure studies, landscapes, ghost scenes, macabre scenes, in short a veritable treasure trove of ukiyo-e! The four scans provided give but a poor idea of the album as a whole.
Albums like these circulated in a studio and served as examples for students. This album must include drawings by Kunisada, but also by his most accomplished students; there is not a single weak or amateurish drawing present. |
