Kurimoto Tanshuu, old becomes new

Kurimoto-Tanshuu.jpg

On the internet, Things grow old real fast, and old things become new just as fast. For example, sketches by Kurimoto Tanshuu done during the Edo period (1603-1868–the beginning of early, modern Japan). These sketches are as beautiful as they are odd and intricate. An early catalog of life in a unique style. For more images of Tanshuu's work check out the links at Pink Tentacle. The post is from 2006 but the drawing are even older.
