探幽縮図聚珍画譜 中巻
A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) from 1885, compiled by the Kano school painter Kano Nobuyoshi and published by Matsui Chubei and partners, offering model drawings for students of Japanese brush painting. Its pages are plain black-and-white woodblock prints of single figures, animals, and sketchy landscape motifs, showing economical line, open white space, and gestural brushwork a designer could borrow for minimal figure icons, pattern, or hand-drawn ink textures.
