This is a Japanese ehon, a picture-book manual of painting, with a record giving only its title and subject as Japanese picture books, so the pictures are the main evidence. The sheets show loosely brushed ink and mineral-colour studies of pine branches, plum blossom, lily pads and a seated court woman, drawn in an economical, unfinished style with washes of green, brown and pink on warm paper.
