Album of Landscape Paintings by Ichiro Yashima 1823

This album of landscape paintings, created by Yashima Gakutei in 1823, is a striking example of the *ukiyo-e* woodblock printing tradition. The work depicts a series of scenes from everyday life in Edo-period Japan, including a man rowing a boat through a tranquil landscape. Gakutei, a master of *ukiyo-e*, uses delicate lines and subtle washes to create a sense of depth and atmosphere, capturing the beauty of the natural world and the simple pleasures of daily life. The album, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the visual culture of 19th-century Japan.
