The gafu of Suiseki are amoung the graphic masterpieces of Japanese Books, and his reputation resides almost exclusively on them and on his work in a few other books: only a handful of album drawings and one or two scarcely characteristic kakemono paintings are known...there is very little color in this Gafu. different tones of sumi prevail, and even the decorative colored patterns on clothes are in low key..The outlines are course but the forms are solid and heavy." Hillier, 752-56 This book is scarce in any state.
