Shōfusai Tōsen 東泉?

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows an open book with yellowed pages. The left page has a faint drawing of a mountain in the center, with a red stamp in the bottom-left corner. The right page is blank. The mountain drawing is a simple line drawing in a light gray color, with no details or shading. The mountain has a pointed peak and slopes down to the right. The red stamp is small and rectangular, with Japanese characters inside. The book is open to reveal both pages, which are slightly yellowed and worn. The background of the image is white.
