The first set in a planned duo is based on 東海道分間絵図 or Map of the Tōkaidō, a 17th-century watercolor map painted enormous scrolls by Hishikawa Moronobu. Moronobu Gansai: A 17th Century Brush Set This is a great set to construct your perfect Japan-inspired fantasy map covering a range of objects. Whereas Gansai was ink and watercolor washes, this set is firmly in Hishikawa’s wheelhouse, a solid example of the ukiyo-e (浮世絵) woodblock work he made famous. This set is extracted from 東海道分間絵図 (A Charted Map of the Tōkaidō). The second set in The Moronobu Duo is based on the 17th-century work of Hishikawa Moronobu.
