锅田玉英，师从杨洲周延，明治时期浮世绘画师，擅长风俗画创作，早前是日本著名绘本—《怪物绘本》的主笔画家。在这幅不寻常的设计中，玉英将极具东方诗意的幽静的景观画面与超大的书法标题并置，产生了戏剧性的视觉冲击效果，近三分之一的黑底黄字的书法横幅恰恰增添了几丝中国山水画的意境。此时我们再看回标题「情興」，正所谓情至浓时，兴致所至。
Nabeta Gyokuei was a pupil of the famous Toyohara Chikanobu and was considered a master of fuzokuga genre painting. He was also known for his fan designs, and produced woodblock prints for the noted Kaibutsu Ehon (“Illustrated Book of Monsters”). The book depicted different types of yōkai, creatures from Japanese folklore. In this unusual design, a quiet, Chinese-influenced landscape is juxtaposed with dramatic, oversized Kanji.
