Ehon Odori Tsukushi is a Japanese picture book of dance poses, written by Tsuranami Sekisuke and illustrated by Takehara Shunchōsai, reproduced in 1930 by Kishō Fukusei-kai and published by Yoneyamadō. Its pages show standing figures in kimono mid-gesture, with kana chants printed beside each one, so a designer can take from them a clear vocabulary of posed, gestural figures and a traditional woodblock-style line with minimal shading.
