応挙画譜
Ōkyo Gafu is a Japanese picture book (ehon) by Maruyama Ōkyo, published around 1850 by Hishiya Gohei for artists and students of painting. Its pages show close, economical studies of birds, blossoms, bamboo and roses in ink and light colour, with plenty of open paper, which suggests quiet asymmetrical compositions and generous negative space for a designer to borrow.
