In the spring of 1767, the Japanese artist Ito Jakuchu and the poet Daiten Kenjo, heading for Osaka, set out just before dawn on a daylong boat trip down the Yodo River….The result of their journey was "Aboard the Ship of Inspiration" (1767), an astonishing 28-footlong, black-white-and-gray panoramic scroll. The collaborative woodblock print has never been publicly displayed until now, and it is the centerpiece of the New York Public Library's "Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan," an exquisite exhibition of approximately 250 works of "ehon," or Japanese "picture books," from the library's collections.
