Ehon: Japanese picture books


Yesterday I happened to be in the vicinity of the New York Public Library on 42nd Street, and just barely managed to catch the exhibition Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan, which closes on February 4. That's where I encountered Kyoto-based Kamisaka Sekka (1866–1942) and his remarkably spare "Spring Rice Fields,” above, from Flowers of a Hundred Worlds, 1910. Then it was off to Turks & Frogs to celebrate Pinky's new job! (And then the Brooklyn Brewery for a surprise birthday party!)
