探幽縮図聚珍画譜 上巻
A Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by the Kano painter Kano Nobuyuki and published in 1885 by Matsui Tadobei and others, offering model illustrations of painting subjects for students and craftsmen. Its pictures are monochrome woodblock prints of birds, flowering plants, pine trees, and figures in gardens, drawn with economical brushlike line and open white space that a designer could borrow for compact motif design.
