One of the main benefits of the Web is as a medium for the publication of
visual information. Over the years we have handled many items of great beauty.
At the present we thought we might begin to arrange some of the material in
our inventory thematically and present it as a gallery of images. The following
only scratches the surface of the possible, please bear with us.
Bear in mind that all of these items are presently in stock, though they are
subject to prior sale.
THE JAPANESE SKETCHTOUR GENRE
Professor Scott Johnson of Japan is primarily responsible for defining the
20th Century "Sketchtour" genre of landscape prints, books and portfolios and
introducing them to the West. At the heart of the genre is the publishing house
Bun'endo. Click
