Catalogue of Japanese artists' materials / Bunkio Matsuki.
A 1908 trade catalogue issued in Boston by Bunkio Matsuki, a Japanese art dealer supplying American painters, decorators and craft workers with imported Japanese papers, fans and decorated panels. The plates are sepia halftones of numbered stock arranged in grids and rows tall narrow strips and small cards bearing cranes, sparrows, herons, reeds, full moons, Mount Fuji, sailing boats and shoreline views useful as ready-made vertical panel motifs, silhouette birds and a muted monochrome palette.
