Entrée du dictionnaire
- Usages idéaux
- Giving daily scenes a symbolic composition · Showing depth by overlap instead of realism
- Typographie
- Brush letters or a disciplined mincho fitting the subject; no meaningless Japanese
- Composition
- Cut the foreground boldly; set a jump in scale against the distance
- Matière
- Keylines and few color blocks; use the paper as one of the colors
- Précaution
- Not a kit of 'Japanese-style' signs. Research the artist, carver, printer, period and subject.
