徳川覇府江戸三十六城門画帖

清水三次郎 編・画 · 1896 · 森山章助 · 81 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture album of thirty-six gates of Edo castle, compiled and drawn by Shimizu Sanjirō and published in 1896 by Moriyama Shōsuke, presenting the city's fortified gateways as a printed record. The pictures are fine pen-and-ink line drawings with dense hatching, showing stone walls, tiled gatehouses, pines and figures on paths, a clear reference for designers studying architectural elevations and hand-drawn landscape texture.
