百家系譜
A Japanese genealogical chart from 1900, published by Keizai Zasshisha, titled 百家系譜 and classed among Japanese picture books; it is printed in vertical columns of characters read from right to left. The image is rotated sideways on the page, and its pattern is a dense grid of fine vertical lines and connecting branches linking small kanji names, giving a designer a strong structural motif of tree-like hierarchy, rhythmic rules and typographic texture rather than figurative imagery.
